Record Temperatures Mean Cross Country

You may have noticed groups of kids running around the neighborhood this summer. The cross country runners train throughout the summer to condition themselves to the sweltering Texas heat and long distance running. With the recent record temperatures the "cool front" was a welcome relief to the cross country runners who were completing tryouts for this year's team. The girls' cross country team has been running all week, some timed and some fun runs. Not an easy task under the ideal circumstancses, throw in last week's temperatures hovering around 100 and you have some hot runners. The season will begin August 30th with a meet at Norbuck Park in Dallas. These runs aren't just distance related they seem to be over hill and valley and through messy terrain, truly cross country. Best of luck to all of those endurance strong runners.
