SEC champs!!

After a two year drought that surely seemed more like ten the hogs are back! Putting all five of our scoring runners in the top ten, and scoring only 34 points, we made sure their was no doubt that we came to win. This was the perfect race for the team as it felt more like a steady state. We ran as a pack until about the last 1k, keeping the guys under control, while at the same time controlling the race. An early contingency of about 6 runners made a break, about half of that group were reeled in by the next mile, and they just kept coming back. The plan was to run as a pack for as long as possible, all the while making sure no team had their fifth man anywhere near ours. The strategy paid off bigtime as we ran to 3rd place (me), 6th place (eric fernandez), 7th place (dey tauch) 8th place (solomon haile) and 10th place (bryan cantero). Now we are going back to the training table to get in some more work before regionals and nationals. We are slated for an 8 mile steady state today but this is subject to change. I will post again after the workout.
