“To do something as an individual is something, but to do something as a team is f*cking everything.”

SHE GETS IT! 👏

@FriarsXCTrack’s Laura Mooney full encapsulated what XC is all about after the Friars’ third place team finish at the 2024 NCAA Cross Country Championships.

Thanks to all of our donors who made this possible! Our Boost anti-gravity treadmill is officially open for activity. We’re so excited to incorporate this tool into our training. Lots of miles to come-even from Coach Lucas! @BoostTreadmills #GoRaiders

You don't need naturally gifted athletes.

Go find:
- Hungry underdogs
- Relentless grinders
- Kids with something to prove

True talent is built through sweat and determination, not genetics.

Create champions; don't just recruit them.

[Shawn Siemers @Siemers_XC_TF]

"But I don't have the motivation to train consistently."

Nah! You got it backward.

Training creates motivation. Motivation creates more training. More training creates more progress. More progress creates more motivation.

Here's the conclusion: Start with no motivation.

It’s underrated how big of a team sport track can be but during these Games this US squad has consistently shown otherwise. This is the Dream Team.

One of my favorite parts. Learning the athlete & being able to tell when they’re feeling confident & at their best.

[CITIUS MAG @CitiusMag]

🗣️ “Coach Mo likes to say that he knows how I’m going to throw in practice by the way I walk toward him when I’m getting to practice that day. Things like that don’t just happen.

The years of trust and working with each other and learning how each other thinks - I think it’s just a testament to the support and love that we have for each other, between Coach Mo and I.”

You know you’ve got a good coach when they can tell how practice will go based on how you arrive at the track!

MUST WATCH: COLE HOCKER WINS OLYMPIC GOLD IN THE MEN’S 1500 METERS. EPIC RACE FINISH.

[CITIUS MAG @CitiusMag]

Phew 😮‍💨

The stacked first semifinal of the Olympic Trials 1500m goes largely according to form, with a speedy winning time of 4:01.40 by @Nikki_Hiltz and @sinclaireeee, @heathair31, @CoryMcGeeRuns, and Elle St. Pierre securing auto qualifiers together in a pack.

[CITIUS MAG @CitiusMag]

🗣️“I definitely wouldn’t say the season has gone the way I had wanted it to. I just kept trying to remind myself that it doesn’t have to be perfect, it doesn’t have to be pretty, you just have to get it right on this day. I’ve made a lot of mistakes over the years and I’ve learned from them. I think I applied every single one of those lessons to my race today and it finally all came together.”

Things are clicking for 800m runner-up (1:58.32) Allie Wilson and we love to see it.
