CROSS COUNTRY DOMINATE THE BASEBALL TEAM??
The Baseball team the the Cross-Country team have a special bond, between a few dating relationships and some very good friendships a lot of challenges get laid down. This last Saturday dinner was on the line. The Challenge, "Whoever loses a 4x800m race has to make dinner." The challenge was originally a 4x400m race but the girls knew they would get dominated on by the guys, especially with two of our girls being 10,000m runners. It was a freezing day, the morning after snow and the girls were out there warming up an hour before the race, just like any other race. The guys showed up about 10mins before the race and stood around watching. The guys narrowly lead the first 400m leg (The 4x800m race was split into two continuous 4x400m races, so the team rotates twice), but when it came to run again we practically dragged the guys back on the track. The girls ended up winning by about 80m.......but the guys still claim the original bet was a 4x400m race which they won. It was funny to see these guys lying on the ground in agony after the race, they said they had never felt so much pain in there legs before. We even had two people throw up......one guy and one girl. Shows how hard they ran.
