There are certain things in this life that you don’t want to
hear. Here’s one of them: The PA announcer blaring to the cross country
universe at Lehigh University the following words: “WILL THE MEN’S COACH FROM
MARIST COLLEGE PLEASE REPORT TO THE MEDICAL TENT IMMEDIATELY. MARIST MEN’S
COACH TO THE MEDICAL TENT.” You see. We have a bit of a history with the
medical tent at Paul Short, of course none of it positive. So to be summoned
there once again … well, it wasn’t fun. Turns out our athletes are OK now, but
there was some post-race issues with which to deal. Paul Short is a tough race.
Hundreds and hundreds of runners, racing aggressively and racing hard, usually
in challenging conditions – rain, mud, wind, heat, etc., through the years.
Post-race issues are bound to arise; they have in the past, and they did again
today. We love notoriety for our program; just not for our visits to the med
tent. OK!
