Each year we run a practice that we call the Whitfield Relays. These relays are named in honor of Chad Whitfield. Chad ran three years of cross country in high school. Chad had many great qualities, but was known by his teammates for giving his greatest effort in all his practices. Chad's teammates were most impressed with how well he dug down in our workouts that involved sprint relays. He became a role model for running tough in practices. The relays can be both fun and grouling. Our team is divided into fairly equal teams with the intention that every team should finish about the same time. Each team's runners may run different distances within the relay. The winning team of the relay often gets a special award and always gets bragging rights for the week. |
