Assistant BHS Cross Country Coach Nate Lutyens stood along Bridgeport City Park trail this morning, offering encouraging words to each young runner who passed by. The enthusiastic students are participating in an optional three-week preseason conditioning session, meeting each morning at City Park for stretching, followed by several laps. Some spend some time concentrating on hill sprints. The cross country season gets underway in August and the fact that so many are wanting to get a jump start on their skills, speed and endurance is a positive precurser for the upcoming season. Lutyens estimates that the team, under the direction of head coach, Jon Griffith, will consist of about 20 boys and 12 girls. See the gallery below for photos of the runners in action.
