Letter from the Coach
Welcome to the Bromfield Girls Varsity Cross Country website. We are a member of the Mid-Wachusett Conference and currently compete in Division D. As coach for the past two seasons, we have claimed the League Championship in 2016 and have sent a representation to the State Championship race both years. The team’s goals are simple. There is a strong focus on growth, both as an individual runner and at the team level as well. Secondly and equally important is to have fun. We all share on this team the desire to get better and are committed to supporting each other through the process.
Although the season begins in late August, the commitment begins much earlier than the first practice. The summer months are a period for runners to get stronger and build a base. Once practices begin runners transition from learning to run to learning to race. We split our training between the roads and trails around school, the gym and weight room, and the McCurdy Track. Our home course is also located in the trails behind the track.
The 2018 season is around the corner. I look forward to welcoming both newcomers and veterans to the team.
Listen for the upcoming pre-season meeting in late May/June. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions.
Kindly,
Matthew Lynde
Bromfield School Teacher and Girls Varsity Cross Country Coach
