What have I been doing you may ask, well the cross country season is in full swing, and things are looking pretty good. This is especially true since I survived the hosting of the first few cross country meets without any major calamities, people falling in large holes, runners turning the wrong way on the course, etc.
Bear Relays went off without a hitch and very little trouble I may add, this is a low key meet that I can handle because everyone is pretty relaxed and well informed. Our girls ran great and our guys looked even better thanks to a great deal of hard work.
This continued to the next meet at UNT where the guys missed a perfect score of 15 by one place. The girls admittedly had a little more competition but we will take what we can get.
The last straw was the high school meet that we put on where I didn't even advertise well and garnered over 60 area high school teams complete with Boys, Girls, JV and Varsity. Some 1300 runners and their parents came to run at our course that was exceptionally dry due to the substantial margin of rainfall that we are behind our yearly average. I spent a great deal of time in the sun and maintained my sanity (who said that? ) I think.
Interspersed between, around, and even amongst some of these weekends I have been spending almost every available minute recruiting some of the finest runners in the country, who are if nothing else politely interested in coming to one of the finest universities in the country. If the type of people that have been visiting happen to come to Baylor our team will get better very quickly, which would be a lot of fun.
