Austin Vandegrift Long Run And Post Workout Team Bonding


Coach Sully is getting his Vandegrift squad ready for the 2019 cross country season. We met up with them in Austin, Texas for their long run. The girls were going 11-13 miles and the boys hit 15 miles.

Austin Vandegrift has two of the top distance runners in Texas with seniors Jordan Mathis and Anthony Monte. Mathis placed 8th last year at the UIL 6A state meet and Monte qualified for Nike Cross Nationals (NXN) where he finished 26th overall.

The Vandegrift girls are looking to get on the awards stand this year and possibly make it to NXN and the boys are also looking to make a team trip up north to Round Rock.

The weather ordered for the day was they usual Texas humidity, but there were some morning showers to slightly turn down the humidity level.

Afterward, the squad hit up the near by Barton Springs pool, which is an Austin attraction with natural spring chlorine free waters that year round are at 68 degrees.

From there they hit up a local breakfast spot to get a bite.
