Page 2B • The University Leader Sports Thursday, August 23, 2012 Runners start off the year with time trials Colin Miller The University Leader

Both Fort Hays State University cross-country teams kicked off their season with the traditional open range time trials. The women ran their five-mile course Tuesday, August 14, while the men ran their 8.4 mile course the follow- ing day. The open range course was “discovered” by head coach Jason Mc- Cullough prior to the 2006 season and has been the teams’ preferred location for time trials ever since. The trials gave Coach McCullough a chance to not only evaluate his teams’ times and strengths but also to better understand their shortcomings. “I do really want to focus on being tough, especially towards the latter mile or two of the race,” said Mc- Cullough. “We’re going to do some more hill stuff and maybe some harder repetitions at the end of workouts.” The women’s toughness was certainly put to the test for their run. Colder weather and persistent rain made the hill-laden course particularly challenging. “The weather was pretty bad and it was pretty muddy out there, so we weren’t expecting fast times,” said McCullough. Leading the team through the inclement weather was junior Gentry Linscott.
