Athletic Director Trish Cronin Attends her first Cross Country Meet

Upon completing her most recent project -a rustic varsity lifting room located somewhere between the pool and the deepest level of hell- Athletic Director Trish Cronin decided that she was finally emotionally ready to attend her first cross country meet.

Cronin’s comments on the experience, while lacking excitement, were not wholly unhappy. Cronin told The Freudian Slip, “It was interesting to see so many students running around the rustic park. I wasn’t expecting much, but I was surprised. The sport seems pretty rustic, but I like it, in a rustic way.”

When asked about some highlights of the experience, Cronin admitted that she couldn’t understand the general thinness of the athletes and their uniforms. “The fabric of the mens’ shorts was very….rustic. And their arms had less muscle than their legs. Definitely not rustic.”

Cronin did admit that the “rustic and nature-y” setting of the race—a park with more trees than trash—was very refreshing. Moreover, while Cronin doesn’t “quite understand why they’re running around in rustic clothes in a nice, rustic park,” she does like how nice everyone was. “No one seemed to care that I didn’t understand the athletes’ motivation to be there. Actually, many people, even some athletes, agreed that cross country makes no sense, ever.”

In conclusion, Cronin said that she “enjoyed the experience, it was very rustic,” and that she looks forward to the athletes’ continued success in their Winter Cross Country season.
