Final Day of Cross Country Camp today. We had a great time racing. Christopher G and Cora H were our top boy and girl in the mile. Sam K and Lizzie F took the top spots in the 2 mile. Congratulations to all, can’t wait to see everyone in a Spartan singlet in a few years.
Day 3 of CC Camp. Rain held off and we got in a fun run around the campus, ran some relays, and had a fun round of Devil Take the Hindmost. We also broke new ground as probably the first CC camp to ever break down film of a CC race! 🏁Race Day tomorrow!
Day two of CC Camp. Today we did some interval training, learned about the importance of good shoes from @buckeyerunningco and had great competition playing Pony Express.
State Runner-up Alert! Sophomore Claire Iaciofano improved her personal best by 5 inches while finishing 2nd in the Pole Vault at the State Indoor Track & Field Championships. Way to go Claire! @TurpinSpartans @TurpinRunning
A few years ago, I tracked improvement rates of my college runners and compared it to a whole slew of factors to see if anything correlated.
The most important factor? Did they show up to practice.
Those who missed the fewest days tended to improve the most.
