Post Race Interview With Caroline
Caroline Wells of Winter Springs opened her season up with a US No. 7 and Florida No. 1 time of 17:06 on her home course.
We caught up with the fast junior, who had a stellar track season despite the abrupt cancellation back in March, to see how training has been going during this long cross country base building.
Wells led her team to a strong season opener as a group. All five of the Winter Springs bears were sub 22 minutes, with their top four sub 20:15.
