Zippy Teen Runners: HS XC Week 2

With 24 speedy teens converging on the Center from as far away as Ethiopia, the coaching staff was strapped in for a fast ride. As is his custom, Coach Pierre brought an SUV chock full of his club runners from Ontario. It was a relief to have Georgetown collegians Sarah and Stephen on board to keep pace with the swift teens! Grassy interval day was hot and sunny while Endurathon day rained buckets on us all day long. No matter. We did it all and rejoiced in the effort. It was another full flight week of running with teens that kept us moving at a clip.
