Cross country opens their season Friday at the Norry Hersey Rice Invitational, a week after their original opening meet at HBU was canceled due to Hurricane Harvey.
Yet despite the weather, the runners continued to train, sometimes by finding higher ground or even making endless loops in the parking garage.
“We have athletes who’ve been putting in up to 90 miles per week in the heat and humidity of Texas,” Magness said. “I’ve seen them out in the parks and gotten good reports back. This group trains hard.”
Getting as much training time in as possible was important for the whole team but especially for the women.
