How do we transform talented individuals into a great team?

By continually emphasizing the importance of the group over the individual. A great individual cannot win a team title, but five average runners who commit to being great can.

Thought on the upcoming season:

We have a number of returners who have state and national meet experience and we aare hoping that this "big" meet experience will translate into a successful season.

Secrets:

This sounds so cliche but it's true - there are no secrets. Every workout that we run has already been published in a number of different books; anyone can copy them. Therefore there are no secrets.

Tips:

Be consistent. Distance running is predicated on foot pounds of work. The more consistent quality running an athlete puts in the greater his or her performances will be.
