re: good progress

Seeing as PreNats was 90+, probably not the best thing to compare....

PreNats

North Central: 25:12 average

SUNY Geneseo 25:38 average

Pomona Pitzer 25:43 average

Loras 25:51 average

Wash U 25:52 average

MIT 25:54 average

CNU 25:58 average

Nationals

North Central 24:33 average

SUNY Geneseo 25:20 average

Pomona Pitzer 25:17 average

Loras 25:20 average

Wash U 25:15 average

MIT 25:29 average

CNU 25:01 average

They obviously had the biggest day, but everyone who ran Pre-Nats ran faster at Nationals. Even teams who under-performed at Nationals (MIT, SUNY G)

wasn't it really cold and windy at nationals though? not exactly perfect racing weather.

either way, on average each kid on CNU ran almost a minute (57 seconds) faster. that's HUGE.

Sure Nationals wasn't perfect but Pre-nats was dangerously hot. Like an 80-degree heat index when the gun went off. Kids were passing out with heat exhaustion all over the place. The improvement at nationals is almost purely attributable to better running conditions.

re: remember CNU

That was Barreau's team... He built that culture and their fitness for years. As this program has progressed it's been him. Getting rid of him doesn't have to be a "bad move" but don't disregard all that the man has done. A team and its culture isn't built over one semester.

He is not finishing the season.

re: dPee

CNU is needing another distance coach or track coach…

Barreau got in trouble at his next school, too.

re: remember CNU

What can we take from Wingard coaching the CNU distance team this past year. The stats are terrible. Many runners leaving the team too. He may still be a nut.
