Last week, Zachariah Johnson and Coach Wood traveled to Mt. Vernon and attended the Cornell College Cross Country Camp over a four-day period. Runners came from several states to train with Cornell athletes and learn how to improve as a runner and competitor for the upcoming XC season. Campers competed in a 2 mile time trial at the end of the camp. Mike Jay, the voice for state XC and track, surprised everyone on the final day to discuss using your passion for running as a motivator.
