Kansan runner returns to Minnesota for NCAA cross country invitational
By Rebecca Barlow sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
By Rebecca Barlow
Andy Tate should feel right at home tomorrow at the Roy Griak Invitational in Minneapolis — not only because he has run on the cross country course at the University of Minnesota, but also because Minnesota is his home state.
Tate, who runs for the Kansas cross country team, is from Lake Elmo, Minn., which is about a 20 minutes drive from Minneapolis, where Kansas will compete against 12 NCAA teams in the invitational meet.
Tate said. "My family and friends will see me race, and I will get to see some old high school rivals."
"It's special to go back home,"
Tate said that the meet would be the first big test of the season. He said he was confident that the Jayhawks would perform well.
"Our first two meets were pretty relaxed," he said. "This is our first test. We have an opportunity to turn some heads. So far the season is going how we expected it to."
Kansas coach Gary Schwartz agreed. He also said he thought that the cross country team had improved from the first meet.
"I think the team has progressed decently," Schwartz said. "The real test is this weekend. The level of
competition will be very high. It's a chance to see if the last two meets have paid off."
The cross country team has had the past two weeks off from competition. These two weeks have given the Jayhawks time to prepare for the meet.
"This gave us a couple of weeks to increase the intensity of what we are doing," Schwartz said. "Practice has gone well."
Kansas didn't compete in the Roy Griak Invitational last year. Schwartz said that the meet and the course were excellent, and that some of the runners had run on the course in previous years.
