It's funny the things you notice. As I got into the Ford Transit van for the first day of preseason XC practice today, it just "felt" familiar. Alas, it was! It was one of the same Ford Transit vans we had last year (Marist leases the vans for 9 months each year, so the fleet changes from year to year). How did I know? The radio presets were the same! Radio Woodstock. NPR. AM talk radio. Those were my presets, anyway. So, that level of familiarity was neat.
However! There's a whole lot that's new for 2023-2024. Starting with the ROSTER, nearly half of which are first-year students (freshmen). It's an exciting time for all of us. The men headed up to Mills for the usual hill workout. The women were at Vassar Farm for an easy run on the "home" course. Tomorrow, it's over to the rail trail in New Paltz. Minnewaska is next. And away we go!
