Wednesday night workouts at Con Val are suspended until the first Wednesday in June. In the event self quarantine must be extended into June, we will look to push back the start date from there or simply suspend the track workouts for this summer.
Co president Mike Smith has been involved with running since he took up cross country in middle school. While never one of the top runners across the state, he did come away with a 16:35 xc PR before he stepped away from competing in his youth. Shortly into adulthood Smith came back to the sport for good, both as a means for fitness and simply to keep active and resolve some unfinished business. Looking to see if there was something left for him in high school sports, he became the head coach for his alma mater, Mascenic, and coached there for twenty five years before hanging up the head coaching position this past year. His teams racked up ten Division 3 team titles (8 boys, 2 girls) and qualified and competed at the New England championships twice. Not bad for a school of 270 kids. When not coaching, Smith is often found running, talking about running, or wandering around the woods and trails of New England.
