Fall Testing


We started official training this week which doesn't really change much other than I can be present and we do some dryland training tests. 3K on the track was yesterday, I think it went fairly well. We had a couple guys under 10min and all except 2 in under 10:30, the average is probably about 10:15, Zach outkicked Eric in the home stretch to take the win. It is impressive to see guys their size going that fast running, not the typical skinny runner build. The womens group this fall is a bit small with so many juniors and one sophomore in abroad programs. No really fast times but everyone under 13 and all except 1 over 12:30. I would have liked to see some times in the mid 11 range but those that ran that fast last year are not on campus this fall. What is great to see is that even with their lack of experience the first year girls all were under 13min which usually doesn't happen. Specific Strength tests coming this Saturday as well as the family weekend cookout. Next weekend will likely be the St. Regis hill climb which everyone gets pretty excited about.
