Regional Recap: I am so proud of this team. I thought back at Varsity camp that we could be Runner Up. But what I think and what the team thinks can be two different things, This team believed and committed to the ideas of “Let’s work hard and wait on the rewards.” This team learned to follow plans and this team learned to realize that cross country is a team sport. As we approached tourney season, we learned that each runner has strengths and weaknesses. This realization helped the runners to learn to count on each other and realize that we need the whole team because we never know who is on and who may be off on that given day. Each week different runners stepped up and that is the true mark of a championship team. Davidson is fortunate to have eight varsity runners who we can run any given week. This also fights off the sub-conscious world of complacency. Because we have eight runners representing Davidson we will always shine. Davidson is a true team and we are going to state!

As for the race; Andrew Tighe-11 is on pace to race for All-Ohio honors this week because he follows the race plan and that plan helps him to overachieve. Being patient is hard but Andrew Tighe did this to perfection and was able to charge the last 800 to finish eighth. Reed Farmer-12 is now a man and Conner Johanssen-10 will stick to anything Davidson. Andrew Taylor is finally getting back to where he should be and I know that next week will be awesome. Chris Egolf-12 was off a bit but his finish was very important. Next week’s colder weather will have this man back up to the number 2 sport. Jack Altman is our hero. Fighting hard in a place that was lonely, he never gave up and that fight is what made Davidson Regional Runner Up. Brian Egolf-12 had a rough race but will bounce back for NXR. Max LeClair-10 was just a great eighth man. He supported his team and is ready if called upon.

The specific’s will be discussed this week.
