As the new school year begins, sports fans everywhere are getting ready for the fall sports season. One team that has been steadily making a name for themselves in Colorado is the cross-country team at Loveland Classical Schools. Known for their hardworking and dedicated nature, the team has consistently performed well and made it to the state championship in previous years. To get a better understanding of what this season has in store for the team, we spoke with Coach Florian Hild for a preview of what to expect from Loveland Classical Schools' cross-country team. When asked about the top returning players from last season, Coach Hild proudly mentions his team's goal of returning both teams to the state championship and finishing in the top ten. He goes on to highlight some of the standout returning players, including Antheney Herre, a sophomore who has displayed exceptional talent, work ethic, and ambition. Coach Hild believes Herre has the potential to play a leadership role and finish high in the team's races. Another player to keep an eye on is Charlie Porter, who is not only a hard worker but also can pull her teammates into a strong pack and help the team place five runners within a minute. While the returning players have shown great promise, Coach Hild is also excited about the new players joining the team. He specifically mentions Antheney Herre and Charlie Porter, both of whom have demonstrated tremendous potential and will make an immediate impact. He believes that their addition to the team will add depth and strength to the roster. When it comes to team chemistry and camaraderie, Coach Hild emphasizes the importance of building a strong and supportive team culture. He reveals that the students have chosen their captains, and these five individuals have already distinguished themselves with their positive attitude and reliability. This will undoubtedly play a crucial role in building team chemistry and fostering a sense of camaraderie among the players. To motivate his players to push themselves to their full potential, Coach Hild focuses on creating a supportive and encouraging environment. He notes that his runners are very supportive of each other and are always willing to help new team members integrate and improve. This kind of supportive team dynamic serves as the perfect motivation for players to push themselves and strive for their best. The biggest challenge for the team this season, according to Coach Hild, is to stay injury-free.
