Running with the Buffaloes
- Running with the Buffaloes
"Running With The Buffaloes", written by Chris Lear and published by The Lyons Press (ISBN 1-58574-328-3), chronicles the University of Colorado cross country team's 1998 season from the late summer practices to the men's NCAA cross country championships.
Description
The book centers on the University of Colorado's men's cross country team. Most of the story, however, is focused on coach Mark Wetmore, risk-taker Chris Severy, and Adam Goucher, the team's top runner and one of the best cross-country runners in the nation. The story is written in a journal fashion, each chapter representing a different entry. Each entry discusses the team's run for the day. Lear also includes information about Wetmore's training methods which are based strongly on the legendary coach, Arthur Lydiard.
"Running with the Buffaloes" is an inspirational book despite the casualties suffered along the team en route to greatness. Not only does it teach readers about training methods and the CU team, Lear infuses encouragement and excitement along the way.
Since the 1998 season, the Buffaloes have won the men's NCAA Division I cross country championship three times.
