We've turned a corner in the 2016 cross country season. Starting this weekend, we are moving from the early-season portion of the fall and transitioning to preparation for the championship season. Training schedules are changing as teams are starting to sharpen up for more meaningful competition yet to come. In competition, athletes will start honing their mindset as well as testing their fitness, as they prepare to take on rivals for section titles and the chance to move on to the state meet in Clovis.
The invitationals of Weekend 5 reflect that increased intensity, starting with Stanford and trickling down to every competition in the state! We continue to learn more and more about California's top teams and athletes, and like almost every weekend there were some surprising performances.
