The heart of our cross country season barrels on, with the Metropolitan Championships on Friday afternoon at Van Cortlandt Park. Race times are: Women's 5k at 1:30 p.m. Men's 5-mile at 2 p.m. For those keeping score at home (and I know you are), the Vanny courses will be returning to the "old-school" original layouts -- excellent for record-keeping purposes! We are very thrilled at this development, after years of seemingly endless construction and endless variations on a course that had remained the same for many decades and many generations.
We will be racing partial squads on both the women's and men's teams. The women's team will be quite small, with all of the Paul Short racers taking this one off. The men's team will be a bit larger, with a mix of experienced and youth entrants. The weather is looking favorable all week. We look forward to returning to the old park and the old course.
