Lady Eagles win West Division title at Conference cross country

The weather and temperatures were ideal last Thursday at the NIACC campus for the Top of Iowa Conference meet and the Lady Eagles exhibited a great team effort in capturing the 2016 Top of Iowa Conference Western Division! This was one of our three goals this season: 1) finishing the season rated, 2) conference champions, and 3) securing the team as a state qualifier.

I told the team they controlled the opportunity to call themselves conference champions and bring home a championship trophy. This group of five just keep pushing themselves each day and have shown success in XC is often determined by individual motivation and team unity. They all do the same workout every day and appreciate the effort each girl puts forwards to make our team stronger by the end of the season. The girls have worked very hard. Not every practice is a walk in the park, but they understand the willingness to buy into training routines generates positive results and PRs. I’ve had the opportunity to coach several individual and team state qualifiers since coaching Eagle Grove cross country, and based on how far this group has come this season, overcoming injuries and numbers, they have made this a great season for Lady Eagle cross country and will try to extend their season on October 20!
