Over the weekend Trinity Cross Country raced at the Maymont Cross Country Festival. There were more than 100 schools racing, including 3,000 runners who raced at the meet. It was a great experience for the younger guys to know how it feels to compete in a race that big. Although we did not race well last week, according to our coach we raced better as a team than we did at the William and Mary Invitational last week. As a team we placed 9th in the varsity race, and overall we all performed pretty well.
Looking at the results of this meet, we still need to improve if we want to compete for the state title this year. Although we have beaten Woodberry Forest School once this year, there is no denying that they and every other team who we run against is training as hard, if not harder than we are. Considering we have not raced against some of the other teams yet, this only means that we need to give it all we have at every work out/race that we have so that we can prepare for the challenge at the end of the season. The challenge of winning the VISAA State Championships.
