Description

Host Wiley Baker highlights student athletes, coaches and various sports programs from county high schools. This month, the Chesapeake High School Cross Country Team is featured.

A

It's the fifth anniversary of Anne Arundel, County, Public, Schools athletes in action, an honor and memory of my mom D Baker, a great athlete herself and a former, a a CPS physical education teacher, I'm Wylie Baker welcome to Chesapeake High School in Pasadena, where we may not be headed over the river or to Grandma's house. But we are going through the woods and around the course.

A

Let's go runnin into the Cougar cross-country team and head coach to Whitney's Chesapeake's coaches and captain's feel confident that their cross-country squad can trekked to the top of the county regions and States. We have.

B

A good squad, a lot of fun and the squats quite deep this year, especially on the boys side. Honestly,.

C

I think this is the best team. That's come up in the past four years. I don't know, I came here as a freshman. The team dynamic was a little bit iffy, but I mean this year. We got a really good group of kids I'm excited to work with them. We.

D

Have new group of girls coming up we've? Also, our seniors have left so we're going to really have to work to replace them, but I really think we can make it with the talent we have being.

A

Positive and active, mentally physically and emotionally helps these Cougars scratch towards their goals. Everything.

B

Is really connected, so if you don't eat right, you don't get enough sleep if you actually even emotionally, don't connect with people during the day. All of that has an impact on how they run and what we find is if they haven't done the proper hydration diet and even connection, they have a much higher incidence of injury.

C

We have a dot system and it's kind of a way to check in of how we're taking care of ourselves physically things like sleep things like how we eat things like how we hydrate and that dot system helps keep the team in check and helps what the coaches know. How well we're supposed to perform that day. The.

A

Cougars cross-country regimen must be good from the start to produce great finishes. Eating.

D

Our balanced diet and making sure we all eat enough per day because it's really important to eat for practice I know sometimes, if I don't eat something before I come to practice. I will just feel down. I have cramps in my muscles, so I really know it's important to eat healthily and eat all day spread out. So you know that you're having enough nutrition to get through the practice and through races when you have them, you.

C

Get dehydrated you cramp faster, so that's a big no-no in cross-country. You want to be able to run as far as you can as fast as possible and cramps don't really help with that. The.

A

Coaches mix, serious and fun into practices. These.

B

Kids are great and that's why we're here? That's why we have so much fun and you just got to keep it fun and keep it interesting, because there's a lot more to it than just going out and run running miles. Sometimes you have to do scavenger hunts. Sometimes you have to do a lot of other things to just kind of shake it up and they can still get their movement, but but it's still it's a lot of fun for them across.

C

Country is a little bit different from other sports. It's definitely more relaxed kind of family, attended atmosphere so and that's what we strive for our.

D

Coaches are great, they really encouraged us. They try to do everything they can to help us out.

A

Incredible Cougars start in the books.

B

The grades are incredible here, especially the COS country runners. Almost every single year will have the highest GPA of all the sports here at Chesapeake. These kids all seem to do quite well academically. You.

D

Have to balance it with your running and your academics and everything else you have going on. I know I work too after practice. Sometimes so I have to work really hard to balance my time making.

A

That final sprint, to the finish, a lot.

B

Of personal best for the kids, for the kids to have a lot of fun and yeah. If we do things right, we should be able to qualify for the state championships out.

D

Of my team I'd really like to see us bond together as a family.

C

If successful season, my heart would be to see every single one of these kids progresses. I know their potential allows them to thanks.

A

For tuning in I'm, Wiley, Baker I'll talk to you on the course on the field or on the air with another edition of Anne Arundel County Public Schools athletes in action.
