Rolling start

Just wanted to update those of you who are following the Buffs and Lady Buffs through the 2008 cross country season. The athletes have had a solid three weeks of training and some individuals are really starting to emerge as front runners. We had our 2 mile time trial on a dirt road outside of town two weeks ago and the top spots shook down like this:

Women:
Jeniffer Cherono (11:45)
Kristie Hartsfield
Allie Reyna
Belinda Castanon

Men:
Jose Velazquez (10:25)
Jose Huerta
Thomas Harris
Aaron Hibbitts
Jarret Kachel
Isai Saucedo
Andrew Striley

Unfortunately our home meet the Buffalo Stampede was canceled due to extremely wet conditions so we didn't get to assess how everyone is responding to the training thus far. Everyone is relatively healthy with the exception of your everyday aches and pains. We are headed to Abilene Christian this weekend to compete so we can assess where we stand as a team. I will post results on Saturday evening.
