NUMBERS
While located in a thriving community, with a beautiful campus - there are minimal hills or trails
This is embraced, the goal has always been to eliminate as many twists and turns as possible, ditch the hills, limit race sizes, widen each curve, make it flat, make it fast.
Combine that with being 2 weeks out from the start of post-season - this is where kids come to run fast, not strategic.
