Today is Thursday, August 23rd. The runners moved in Friday the 17th and today marks our sixth day of preseason practice. It has been a pleasure to welcome back returning runners and to add new faces to the team. The runners are determined and dedicated and I am looking forward to an exciting season.
The cool weather has welcomed us to our first practice each day. The team has arrived each morning ready for the next run. They are getting to know each other and look forward to team breakfast after our workout.
This is a dedicated group which is active in other areas on campus. They leave breakfast to other campus duties to include training in our corps of cadets and research in our psychology lab. The upperclass students are introducing our two freshman to the college and the city of Staunton.
They have set high goals as individuals and as a team and it is going to be a great adventure seeing all this play out between now and November. I hope you will follow along with us.
