Weather: Sunny and 75
Racine Horlick Rebel Invite
The Greyhounds showed one of the best TEAM cross country races that I have ever seen while coaching here in 7 years! The boys out ran Kenosha Tremper to win by 4 points. Tremper won the meet last year by 1 point. The group decided that the TEAM goal was to run with each other for as long as they could. They did that with our top 6 guys running within 2 sec of each other at the mile (5:25-5:27) They still worked with each other through the second mile with Dennis and Jake splitting out a 10:44 2 mile, followed by Erickson with 10:48, Salmon and Stewart were working together at 11:00 and Valsusek in 11:19. Ben Flanders and Sammy Dupuis followed through in 12:18.
Pack running is what makes the team stronger and they do not feel so alone out there, they feel as if they can push each other more to the finish line. The top 7 guys all PR’d from this course last year to this year. I will have this years times first followed by last years.
