🎙️ DELCO XC Podcast – Season 3, Episode 3 🏃‍♂️🔥

We’re back with a full breakdown of Week 0 in Delaware County XC! Penncrest, Ridley, Garnet Valley, and Strath Haven all lined up at the Oakbourne Relays hosted by West Chester Henderson, and we’ve got all the early takeaways.

In segment two, we touch on some big national news: Foot Locker Nationals officially closing its doors this year after decades as one of the sport’s most iconic meets.

Then in segment three, DELCO legend Greg Thomas returns to the mic! We dive into the unique challenges coaches and athletes face when balancing the pressures of leading a top team or chasing greatness as an individual — and how to best set up everyone for success.

In this episode, we break down how summer training shapes the future of cross country success — especially for those making the leap from freshman promise to sophomore stardom.

We start by diving into the importance of consistent summer mileage, smart workouts, and building a base that carries athletes through the fall. Then, we shift focus to the top sophomore sensations in Delaware County, highlighting the names you’ll want to remember when the gun goes off this season.

And we’re not doing it alone — guest host Greg Thomas rejoins us for this hour-long deep dive, bringing his insight and energy back to the mic. From long runs in the heat to early morning track sessions, we show how the work put in during the off-season transforms potential into performance.
