Realizing Potential

Realizing Potential

We are approaching the 1 year anniversary of the creation of CU Racing Team. I think most members have been satisfied with the progress and impact CURT has had on the community and members in it's first year. Many of our members have PRed at a variety of distances and are running faster and more consistently than ever before. This is something we should all be very proud of. We have successfully motivated, trained and educated each other. However, the longevity and impact of this team must lie in the future. Changing Champaign-Urbana's attitude/behavior in regards to running, influencing and educating youth, and providing positive role models for runners in our community need to be on the mind of our members going into year number 2. CU Racing Team will be a more organized team with more to offer our community in 2014. Furman Elite is a team out of Greenville South Carolina that is drawing runners to its community and changing its community for the better. This year they qualified their first runner for the World Championship team that competed at Moscow. I think all of our members can take notes and strive to make a bigger and longer lasting impact on our community in 2014.  Check out this clip from Furman Elite. I encourage people to leave comments and act on ideas they have to influence others.
