Weekly Review 8/17: Georgia Cross Country Season Underway

The Varsity boys race from the Apalachee Invitational

Cross country season is finally back in action. Many teams decided to run a race during the first big weekend, but I would caution anybody from reading too closely into these results. There were no major invitationals, and the biggest one we saw was a two mile race instead of a full 5k. Sometimes kids are still tired from the summer mileage, and sometimes kids are fresh from the big jump they made over the summer. It's too early to know for sure what we saw this weekend. So what's the point? Well, for one thing it's still fun to race! Many kids need a reminder of why they do the hard training in the Georgia heat, and giving them a race early on provides them with exactly that reminder. Other kids need to shake off some rust and get ready for the season to really get underway in September and October. But mostly it provides coaches with a good amount of intel into their own teams. Now they can adjust the training accordingly and go from there.
