Pre-State Invitational

Today we made our annual trip to the pre-state cross country invitational. I take my team to this meet every year as motivation for my athletes and a coaching tool for me. Unlike many sports, the site of the New York State cross country championship changes each year. Although the distance of 3.1 miles remains the same, the terrain and difficulty changes dramatically each year. This year our pre-state trip led us to a golf course at Chenango Valley State Park. The course proved to be very fair and most of our team ran very well. However, if we are going to make a return trip in November we will have to run much better and eliminate the large gap we are still having between our number 1 and number five runners. Like I said, though, today was a tool for me and motivation for them. I now know what the course is like and will try to mimic it at practice. The team now knows what to expect and seem very eager to get back here. The past 2 years we have not made a return trip to the pre-state course and I am confident that if this young group can finally run up to their capabilities that streak will end. We showed much improvement from Queensbury a week ago and thus we are heading in the right direction.
