Even the Canada Games are headed that way.

Our biggest advantage this year is our youth. Our biggest disadvantage this year is our youth. They are a very willing group. We have a lot of great athletes, but a lot have never run cross country before.

I didn't think we'd get the grouping from all five of the guys that we did. That was just a fantastic display of grouping in cross country and that really went great.

The boys without a doubt have to turn things around. The boys have been getting fairly well buried on the state level recently. We've had too many gaps that have killed us at the bigger meets. Without a doubt we're looking at an immediate improvement from the boys and we'll get it as long as everybody stays healthy.

The girls team might as well have a target on their back as the undefeated Marble Valley League champions. They'll be a fun group to watch.

The girls have yet to run at full strength. We are hoping that when some injuries heal, we will be able to close some gaps that we have.

We did a lot of running this summer together.

Not only was our pack back, but it was tighter than when they ran at [Burr and Burton]. There was only a 37-second gap between the first and fifth runners.

The boys will sneak up on a lot of teams because on paper it looks like we graduated everybody and there's all these new faces.
