Welcome Back! I am excited to announce that Kabes has added I, John Waller, as a new Blogmaster to help you readers stay updated on current events for the 2011 Cross Country Season. This season is sure to be an exciting one as we began our journey today towards helping the Varsity team return to the State Championship for the 17th straight year.
The team returns three varsity runners including Matt O'Connor, Nick Martini, and myself. We unfortunately will have to say goodbye to four teammates (Kevin Abernathy, Jacob Seiler, John Madey, and Brian Scherping) who will be moving on to college this fall. Kevin will continue his running career this fall at Drury University and Brian will run for Missouri S&T, where he will join former high school running legend Bill Gabler. All four will be dearly missed along with former Blogmaster and track star Alex Potter. We wish them the best of luck as they begin their college years.
Moving on...We are excited to announce two new additions to our coach staff this year. They are Tom Albes and Jordan Mahood who are both De Smet alumni from the class of 2007. Both were excellent runners and their running skills and knowledge will greatly benefit our team this year.
Today at practice we were joined at practice by Kevin and Brian. Brian was just finishing his six miles of continuous tempos as we started practice and Kevin joined us for a classic double Mosely. Coach Tom and Kevin spent most of the running arguing about who had a more prestigous grade school sports career, as Nick and I timed how long Kevin would talk without taking a breather. Kevin reminded Tom of his three CYC volleyball championship, while Tom chimed back with his CYC soccer championship and his 4x800 school record at the track state championship.
All in all, it was a great run to start the season and I hope you'll enjoy this post after taking the summer off. Stay tuned for lots of good posts coming your way this week including goodbye posts from the class of 2011 and inductions into the 2011 Milktable Hall of Fame.
