Batman 1000s

Today was tough workout that required a lot of hard work and focus. Some guys ran an all-out mile time trial. Bob led the whole way and took first. Good job Bob. The other guys had 6x1000's at 2 mile pace. It was difficult, but they battled through it. Everybody really came together and motivate and encourage others. Anything from, "Hey, you can do this" to shouting cheers. It was a great sight.

Meet Recap:

After an hour and a half of driving to God knows where we finally arrived at the Northwest relays. In recap of the meet today the freshmen finished 5th and the sophomore finished second. The distance portion of the meet started with the freshmen 4x800 meter relay which finished a solid 2nd to last place with strong runs from Glen M, Matt B, Collin S, and Patrick C. The sophomore 4x800 team which featured three freshmen and one sophomore finished a solid 5th place and featured Joe F, Collin V, Justin P, and Matt L. Then came the sprint medley relay where a few of the distance runners ran the 800 in the races (Alex E and John W) and the sophomores won and the freshmen ran a strong race. The last “distance” event of the day was the Distance medley relay. Running for the freshmen were Michael C, Mackenzie S, AJ S, and Husmann and they finished a strong second place which tied the best finish in a freshmen relay all day. Congratulations to anyone I did not mention all of you ran strong.

If you are curious, the title comes from the workout and the Batman sunglass I wore today. Yes, they are awesome. You can even ask coach Leeman who called me Batman multiple times.

Quote of the Day: "Every lap you hit on pace is like putting a quarter in the piggy bank. Then at state you smash open the piggy bank and cash it all in for a medal."- Boyle during the jogging rest as motivation for the team

Best Dressed: Potter. Today, was a unique situation. He won not for what he wore, but what he didn't wear. It was the first day in what seemed like 300 that he didn't have on a Duke shirt. He proudly wore his assortment of Duke shirts throughout the entire NCAA tournament; his dedication and consistency was quite a feat. But it was not this that earned him best dressed. It was simply the classic gray DeSmet XC shirt complimented by the good ole DeSmet Soccer shorts.
