Greetings fellow coaches, athletes, and all those looking forward to the 2015 cross country season! I hope that everyone has had good summers and are feeling very confident in their training heading into the season. I know both I and my team here at Charlotte high school are very excited for what’s in store This summer was very different than ones of years past. We logged more mileage, ran harder, and had more fun! While we didn't go to any camps or state trips, we spent our time bonding in Punta Gorda. The feeling around the team this year is very positive and with one race under our belt at Estero DDD, we look towards the rest of our exciting season. Big meets, great competition, and road trips are what we are all about.
For me individually I just want to compete at the highest level possible and my training so far will allow me to do just that. Only logging 40-45 miles a week I am if anything under ran, but I think racing against competitive athletes and training for my main goal: a top 5 finish at the state meet, is something I'm excited to attempt. This is doable and will be quite pleasing to me since I am more of a track athlete. Our team has goals of advancing through the post season and trying not to be a tourist at the state meet and actually compete.
With all these goals and excitements building up, both myself and the team can't wait to get into the major races and intensity of the season. Best of luck to all the runners, coaches, and teams, and I can’t wait to see you guys out there!
