If there was something that the Valparaiso University Cross Country team is relieved for, it would be the ability to finally have a meet scheduled.
That is the foremost thought from head coach Mike Straubel in seeing his players get more racing opportunities. The team finished third out of four teams in their season opener.
“[We are] relieved to get a meet in,” Straubel said. “Good weather, no problems. That’s from my perspective of just meet management.”
The team opened up the season with a home meet at the Sunset Hill Farm, running against Notre Dame, Purdue and Green Bay.
