Now that the cross country season has been finished for a while, that's still no excuse to not run, especially if you're not in another winter sport. A runner doesn't want to lose the fitness gained during the hard work of the cross country season.
It's cold you say, but that's no excuse. Just put on the sweats and mittens and you'll be fine. It takes about a mile for the body to get warmed up on these cold days, so just stay with it for a bit and you'll be fine.
With the All-Delco team being published earlier this week, congratulations to Runners of the Year Hannah Grossman, of Strath Haven, and Chris Garrity, of Cardinal O'Hara.
Grossman was good at the start of the season and gradually improved as the season went on. What was best about Grossman is she had her best race of the year at the state meet with that third-place finish. To run your best at the biggest meet is not an easy accomplishment.
Garrity was also very good all season and he led O'Hara to a third-place finish in the team standings at the state meet. Like Grossman, he ran very well in the most important race of the season.
