    College Coaches, I have a senior runner Keegan Souhan who is still looking for the right place to call home. 15:10 PR in XC . He just went 9:12 in 3200 &4:23 in full mile @EasternRelays . Notice is last lap in 3200 was a 62 & in mile it was 61! Also National Merit Finalist.😊

    How to improve as a distance runner in 2019 1. Commit to consistent yr round training (48 weeks) 2. Decrease your Pace per run by 10-15 sec 3. Increase your weekly mileage by 7-10%. 4. Focus on details ( strength, strides, etc) 5. Set BIG goals & Believe you can achieve them.

    Weekend checklist @taylormewert . 1. Win individual state🏅by 26 sec✔️. 2. Lead CREEK XC to 1st place 🏆at Ohio state meet ✔️. 3. Ride in 🚗 for 400 miles to Terra Haute✔️. 4. Wake up and then Race @HauteNxn and place 3rd & qualify for Nike Nationals.✔️. #wow @milesplit

    I would like to say I’m surprised that @taylormewert took 1st place and ran a PR in her first college race for @RazorbackTF but I am not. I know how she gives elite effort everyday at practice. #proudcoach

    #NationalSigningDay for @taylormewert Savannah R & Jodie P As a coach you are lucky to get 1 girl in your lifetime that is considered one of the best runners in the USA but to have 3 in the same class leaves me speechless. @OHMileSplit @bcreekathletics @creektrackfield

    What I ❤️ about 777 workout? 1. Teaches athletes how to break up a longer effort into smaller segments. We do the same thing for our 5k races. 2. We want each 7 to get faster so when they get in a race they should think about getting faster each mile.

    Post from a new female runner that I convinced to try XC. I knew she could be good . Not because she is amazing athlete, but she was a student of high character. She is the student that has a 99% in class but does extra credit because she wants 100%. 🖤🖤🖤 Character >Talent

    I need to make public apology to senior @PierceDoyle3 who is ranked #1 in Ohio in high jump 6’8”& will not compete @oatccc state meet because of a registration error made by me. I feel terrible because this young man did nothing wrong.His focus is now on nationals. #CREEKPR1DE
