UNIVERSITY OF RICHMOND, Va. - The Spider men’s and women’s cross country teams recently completed their annual trip to Mountain Lake Lodge at the beginning of August.

“We are excited to have our teams back on campus and preparing for the upcoming cross country season,” head coach Lori Taylor said. “It’s great to get everyone back and head off campus to Mountain Lake Lodge for some excellent training and team bonding in the Virginia mountains. Every year it’s a great experience and critical for our team to come together and collectively discuss goals and give the incoming student-athletes the opportunity to gain close friends before the come back to campus to start classes. As a staff we like where our teams are mentally and physically as we start the new year.”

The trip turned out to be more than just the running for the Spiders, as it provided a good preseason workout for the upcoming season with the tough terrain of the mountains providing a mental and physical challenge.

The teams welcomed the new freshman and bonded through the tough runs as a group and through the many team activities outside of running. The teams took a canoeing trip, roasted s’mores and got to have some great bonding experiences.

“This is a time to get back together and lay the foundation for the season to come,” head coach Steve Taylor said. “This is the fourth consecutive year that we have made Mountain Lake Lodge our teams destination and seems to get better every year. This location is amazing; from miles of trails, endless dirt roads, remarkable views and scenery to the New River and the Cascades, you simply can’t get enough. This trip set the tone for the year and we are excited about getting started.”
