Relaxation not on North Wood runners’ agenda

By Brent Glasgow Correspondent NAPPANEE Last Monday evening, the North Wood High School football team winner of nine sectional titles since 19% worked out on the north end of the school grounds. On the south end, the Panthers' cross country teams were busy aiming toward a similarly successful future. "We haven't gotten out of our sectional in recent history," second-year North Wood boys cross country coach Justin Bell said. "We have set our goal this year to get out of sectional and to give it everything we have to make that happen." The squads have been burning up the track and terrain since summer began. With each runner setting a mileage goal, the 26 athletes have put in roughly 2,100 miles in six weeks. That's the distance between Nappanee and Sacramento, Calif. "The summer mileage is very important to get a firm foundation so we can have more intense training in the fall,"

Bell said. "It's really good for us as a team. The kids really enjoy the camaraderie, and we've grown numberswise. We have about twice as many out over last year." Bell and first-year girls coach Melissa Wyatt attend team runs twice a week, while the other sessions are led by seniors. On the boys side, seniors Jamin Parker, Lewis Telschow, Jared Lechlitner and Matt Geiger lead the way. "Their leadership has been excellent," Bell said. "That group has to step it up and be models of what I'm looking for." Parker, who should be the team's No. 1, committed to logging 500 miles this summer, with up to 15 a day. "We're working really hard, harder than in previous years," Parker said. "It's hard to keep it up every day, but we're real excited about this year." For the girls, juniors Cynthia Medina and Karlie Kratzchmar are leading a smaller but competitive bunch. "I think we're doing great," said Medina, who ran at semistate last year

while also playing soccer. "Everybody shows up, even when it's real hot, and we're all doing it for the team." Wyatt is pleased with the her new squad's effort. "They are very committed, and I'm really impressed," Wyatt said. "They've dedicated their time to see results in the fall, and we don't hear any whining out of them." North Wood runs its 5K events at McCormick Creek. The Panthers will host an alumni run Aug. 14, followed by their first home meet on Aug. 17. When school starts, work isn't limited to practice and events for Bell and Wyatt, who will continue recruiting for their programs' future. "North Wood is the smallest (Northern Lakes Conference) school," Bell said. "Obviously our football and soccer programs have been strong. So for us, there's a need to promote our program and reach out to those athletes that aren't involved in something yet and can find their niche with running."
