Stepping onto the track during the XC season doesn't happen often here at Somers XC. But that's exactly what the boys group 1 and 2 did yesterday. According to coach Fulton, it has probably been over 5 years since the boys XC team did a workout on the track instead of their usual hill and trail work.
The workout on tap? 3K-1K-1K-1K 10x100m hills, all done at goal 5K race pace. The workout went very well. 3K times for the top seven: Gorecki (9:44), Conway (9:52), Tunas (9:52), Friedman (9:55), Sammel (9:57) Shelby (10:03), and LiCursi (10:59). Sophomore's Friedman and Sammel ran converted 3200m PR's of 10:38 and 10:40, looking smooth and comfortable the entire time.
With the first race a week from today and the first invitational a week from Saturday, the Running Tuskers are rounding into shape.
