Central Univer sity cross country team prepares for its Dec. 8 meet at V.M.I. in Lexington, Va., coach Larry McDonald is hopeful that his team will be the most competitive he has fielded in his three year tenure here. The cross country squad is small—only 15 runners—but McDonald says, “That’s OK, because I’m interested in quality, not quantity. I’d rather coach a small team with all winners than a large team with just a few.” When one talks that way, McDonald may sound like a Vince-Lombardi-style disciplinarian, but that is only part of the story. Although he believes in discipline, he declares, “I’m not a dic tator.” He always tries to remember, he says, that track is an individualized sporC in which each runner must be treated as an individual. “The team knows my door is always open, because I think being a coach means being close to the students. And in return, they enjoy trying their best for me,” he says. “I want everyone on my team to be successful. Therefore I try not to push too hard. “I’m a runner myself, and I like helping other athletes to realize their potential,” he said. To become a cross-country runner, McDonald says, “a person must love to run,” and “he must be competitive, real ly willing to work to beat his team members for a starting slot.” The cross-country event is a 5.2 to 6 mile race by a team of five distance runners. “The race is run around this campus in sort of a maze fashion,” McDonald explained. “There are usually two to three teams, and the team having the most points wins.” McDonald, a youthful- looking 27, played football and ran track for Fayetteville State University. 1984 Cross Country Schedule Sept. 29 Fayetteville State Oct. 6 Campbell University ; 11 N.C.
