GW hands Baylor's xc team its most embarrassing defeat since Baylor was whipped by a high school team last week. Assistant Coach, also a sophomore athlete on the women's team and the designated team spokesman for both teams, had this to say about the mens' team's performance, "I wasn't sure that our team could live up the challenge presented by Baylor. When we last raced Robinson High School, we couldn't even break their top 5. But Baylor proved to be less formidable than we had ever imagined."
Baylor head coach had this to say, "this shows you the importance of having a strong 6th man. We figured that our number one runner and their number one runner would do their own thing and out class the entire field--and they sure enough did that, both averaged 5:55 over the tough Texas terrain--with the GW man barely nipping our number 1 at the finish, with a 5 mile time of 29:35. I should've seen it coming; that was a sign of things to come. Losing because our 6th man couldn't even beat someone averaging 8 minutes a mile is pathetic!"
GW head coach added that they are looking forward to racing more college competition in the future because "as I noticed with my own training, racing against 9 years olds really doesn't prepare you for the big leagues. We'll have to focus more on racing college age teams, such as Baylor to become more successful." She further added, "I have already scheduled a lecture by Galloway who is going to teach how walking can improve our times. Galloway is a great man."
We also took the liberty to interview "Avg. Runner" who said that he thought that we and the college world put to much emphasis on trying to win and that we should all just have fun.
And people in the sport of cross country wonder why the sports world no longer considers competitive running to be a real sport.
