-- For alumni and friends, please check www.goredfoxes.com for a short release on the men's cross country team's preseason #10 ranking in the Northeast Region. It's a nice recognition, but also a clarion call to the current team to go out and make this year successful to keep the strong tradition going.
-- Our meet at Franklin Park in Boston is on Sunday. It is a small meet, but one of high quality. The host school (BU) has an excellent running program. Brown is perennially a ranked team in the region. Northeastern is a great track program that is much-improved from everything I'm hearing. And LaSalle is one of the best teams in the Mid Atlantic Region. It should be a great challenge for both of our teams, and an opportunity to get on the course that will host the NCAA Northeast Region in November.
-- Workout update: The men and women have been working hard in training since the home meet at Bowdoin. We've done some good, quality workouts at Bowdoin and Roosevelt Farm Lane, and the mileage level has been strong.
-- There has been a fair amount of illness going around our teams -- especially on the men's side. My attitude on that? Get it out of the way early. Usually, we get the serious sniffles in mid-October. Maybe we can get all the infections done with now. We can only hope.
-- Weekend travel plans. We will practice from campus at 11 a.m. Saturday. Then, you guys (men and women) can grab some lunch, shower, pack and we'll have a 2 p.m. bus departure for Boston.
That's it for now. More updates over the weekend as warranted.
