XC Warming Up for Title Run
Both the men's and women's cross country teams have performed well this season so far.
Cross Country Coach Chris Ummer said that the team is right on par with where they should be this time in the season.
"Both teams are progressing as I expected and as they typically do this time of year," said Coach Ummer.
Ummer says that the times aren't necessarily impressive, but that is because of the difficulty of courses the teams have been running.
Although the team will be racing against many other schools in the Conference Championship, Ummer says that the team has one opponent in particular that they have to watch out for.
"It's really between us and New England College," said Ummer.
Ummer says that he believes his teams are ready for the race and even have an advantage over other teams.
"I'm a believer that as a runner you can only perform at your best just a limited of times," Ummer said.
Ummer says that the week leading up to a championship race he likes to talk specific strategy with the teams.
"I'll tell the team what runners they should mark and try and stay with," said Ummer.
"I'll give them good workouts, but they will have plenty of time to rest up also," added Ummer.
On October 30, Lyndon State will host the NAC Conference Championship. The men will race at 11 a.m., while the Women will go at 12 p.m.
