Benton Cross Country

INTENTION changes everything! Two athletes. Same starting point. Same exact program.
But one keeps improving… and the other stays stuck. Why? Athlete A is just going through the motions. Showing up because they have to. Checking the box.
 Athlete B shows UP. Every rep has purpose. Every drill has focus. Every session has effort behind it. That’s the difference between average and elite. If you want to become an elite athlete, don’t just be present; be intentional. Work hard. Compete. Show up with purpose. This post put together by performwithpete needs to be seen by as many athletes and coaches as possible! Amazing visual and an important lesson on how to maximize every training session. Over a thousand training sessions INTENT becomes the difference between success and knowing you could have been more!

Congratulations to Benton Community junior Jack Lange who completed his first year of cross country running by placing 51st in 17:02 at the Class 3A State Meet yesterday in Fort Dodge. Way to go Jack!

We are mourning the loss today of former Benton Community girls track and field assistant and middle school cross country coach Kelsey Ritscher. Kelsey was a valued, dedicated, and amazing person who cared greatly about the kids she coached for many years here at Benton Community

The Benton Cross Country Family is heartbroken by the loss of Coach Aaron Cretin. Our sympathy and prayers go out to the entire Cretin family. Coach C. was a special man who had a gift for working with young people. His caring way and positive attitude will be greatly missed
