It's an early start for the cross country team this morning as they head to their meet in McKinney, making their way to the bus at 6:15 am. The sun has not risen yet and it is still dark, most of the city asleep at such an early time on a Saturday morning. The team, still dazed and groggy,...
The lime green and black-striped shoe pounds against the earth, causing specs of dirt and bundles of grass to come flying up into the pale white face of the runner. Mud-brown locks of hair flow into the bright blue, wide-open eyes that are constantly focusing on a single uniform and then moving to the next one,...
A smear of brown mud slashes across red, puffy cheeks and pale, muscular legs as brightly-colored shoes splash directly into the shallow puddle of damp grass and dirt. The atmosphere reeks of stale rain and sweat for all of the wide-eyed faces of onlookers. The heavy panting coming from the runners sprinting past the crowd is drowned out by...

The Jesuit track and field team competed in the Distance Festival meet last Saturday, February 26. The team competed on the Southlake Carroll High School track against other high...
It’s 6:30 a.m. The sky is still black. A dedicated group of runners begin their daily workout before school, just as they have since June. Mile after mile. Interval after interval. Race after race. For the past six months, the Jesuit Rangers have followed a tough training plan, running about 50 to 60 miles per week. Led by Coach Douglas...
Don't do your absolute best, just beat your competitors. When competing in high stakes divisions like regionals and districts, this advice echos through the heads of each runner; don't do your absolute best, just beat your competitors. Runners in previous races tried to beat their PRs (Personal Records) to impress against other runners across the state, however now the only...
