Hey, kids. After nationals I’ve had over 500 people ask me the same question: what happened to you at Nationals? I guess I could simply answer the question right away, but it would be more fun for you all to read my journal and find out the answer. It is a tale full of ... Free registration required

My 2005 cross country season was one of my best. I had great training, no injuries and a lot more motivation. From my first race in September (the Meet of Championship) I knew I was going to have a successful season. Running at pre-nats and regionals was great motivation for me and ...

Well, the feeling of winning a national title is something I'll cherish forever. It was a great ride this year, and everything seemed to be a dream. Some days, I would feel like pinching myself to make sure what was happening was really true. Thankfully, it was and it was an ... Free registration required

December 1, 2005
Today Coach called us all together to review the season and to start brainstorming for the track season. The team consensus is that the majority of the cross country season went well but that we are not satisfied with the performance at nationals. I was frustrated on both a team ...

I can't believe its almost two weeks since Nationals. Its sad to have the season behind me and start thinking about indoor track (uggh) but I felt good about my last XC performance. Obviously, my ultimate goal was to win the title but who knew that Nilsson was going ... Free registration required

The past week and a half has passed in a blur of cigar smoke and chardonnay, grad school applications and office hours, crazy Hungarian Thanksgivings and Columbiatch dinners. The initial shock and disappointment of Nationals was both significant and substantial, but I can honestly say (to sound obnoxiously profound and that word ... Free registration required

Week Leading up to Nationals:  (Week of 11/14)
So even though they’ve officially announced that our team goes to NCAA’s. It still seems surreal. I just keep thinking about how this is what we’ve all been training for since last June. Right now, I’m in awe of what our pack has accomplished with Kathy ... Free registration required
12/04/2005 Meghan Bishop, Entry #2 - Meghan Bishop, William & Mary
Needless to say, we were pretty excited that we got a bid to nationals. It had been our goal all season, but with such a rebuilding year, sometimes it seemed pretty unreachable. After pre-nats and our conference meet we had a lot of girls step up into the 4th and 5th positions giving our ... Free registration required
12/04/2005 Frank Corrigan, Entry #1 - Frank Corrigan, Iona
Sitting in Terre Haute for two days before the XC National Championships was no vacation. Actually flying into Indianapolis and seeing those never ending corn fields again was when reality set in that the time had finally come. To me, those 48 plus hours before the race were down time where all I could really ... Free registration required
12/03/2005 Elizabeth Maloy, Entry #3 - Elizabeth Maloy, Georgetown
Cross-country is definitely a fun sport, despite the fact that it is incredibly painful. I like the team aspect of it, the seven girls that you go to championship meets with become you best friends. A bond grows between you during workouts and through races. I’ve missed out on that the past two years ... Free registration required
