The Creekside boys are the defending 3A Cross Country Finals state champions and predicted to go back to back this year with a senior laden team. Zack Bias caught up with the Knights to get a peak into their training, which consisted of a 300m core workout.
The Workout:
"Today's workout was a strength building workout, typical summer stuff that a lot of people do, circuits.. This workout is adapted to fit what I think the boys need most, a little bit of speed in between each core sets of exercises. Also, adding in there the aspect of a team. We do solo circuits sometimes, where you are on your own. You get the running in and the core exercises in. But today was a team circuit." - Coach Eric Frank
Core Breakdown:
"The team was split into three different groups. Each group had a range and ability, probably of a 5k time of 90 seconds from the top guy to the bottom guy, maybe two minutes, but they were pushing each other. It was an opportunity for some guys to get a workout in with guys they normally don't get a workout with. It builds team camaraderie and pushing and challenging some guys who might not get that experience." - Coach Eric Frank
