George... i stopped by mayo high school to check in with the spartans to find dozens of socially distanced runners wearing masks waiting for the second day of practice to begin.

All of them were excited to finally get out of the house and have something to look forward to.xxx i'm so glad, i don't think it would have been a senior year without cross country.

I would have been devastated.

I've had five years of it and just to not have the sixth would be terrible.

Fortunately for athletes such as lance pfrimmer and hannah lamaster... there is a season to look forward to.

I think it's really exciting because i was really disappointed about the track season not working out.

After two weeks of track practice in march... the season was canceled due to covid?

"*19.

The team didn't mis a beat... setting its sights on what layed ahead.

After that may fifth i believe our ultimate goal just became cross country season and not track so we just kind of built up to it.

Practices and meets will look a little different this year.

Student?

"* athletes were split into small groups and equipped with masks when they weren't running.

Meets will also have a maximum of three teams. the big question is... how will runners be separated at the starting line?

Head coach ?

"* brett carroll explains.

They're only sending off groups of 25 and they're going to space them out about every minute.

So it's going to be a different dynamic, there again, we're going to make the best of it and rock it out.

No matter what it might look like... you won't find these athletes complaining.

I'd say the ultimate goal is to do the best with what we can with however many competitions we get to have (?
