Preseason cross country training has begun, with a lot of familiar activities (pictures to follow).
On Wednesday, the teams went to the Staatsburgh State Historic Site for the traditional "Mills Hills" workout.
On Thursday, the team went to Vassar Farm for a run-through of the season opener course.
On Friday, the teams went to the New Paltz rail trail, parking at the "Sojourner Truth Kayak Lot" for some easy/steady running with pickups.
On Saturday, the teams went to Minnewaska State Park Preserve, which was bustling with activity - the Vassar XC teams were there, among others. Marist alum Spencer Bossi-Johnson (a Vassar XC assistant coach) was there too!
On Sunday, it's move-out day, as the athletes move from preseason housing at Ward Hall into their permanent on- or off-campus residences.
The weather so far has been favorable -- warm and relatively low humidity, and no rain (during practice time anyway). Here's hoping for more of the same in the coming days and weeks.
