Team Credo

1. Success in the championship meets is the focus of our season.

2. We train as individuals, but we draw our strength from the TEAM; every runner in our program—whether varsity or JV, no matter how fast or not-yet-fast—is part of that team.

3. Excellence is the result of extra effort; our success in the sport is directly related to how hard we’re willing to work.

4. The weather is never unsuitable for training. "When it rains, we get wet."

5. Runners have to earn the right to move to the next level of training.

6. The numbers don’t lie.

7. We treat the opposition with dignity. We fear no one and respect everyone.

8. How we train directly determines how we will race. Put another way, our training is like programming a computer; on meet days, we simply run the program.

9. Pressure only affects the unprepared.

10. It's okay to lose, but NEVER lose the lesson.
