Cumberland cross country heads into invitational to prepare for postseason

, October 13, 2011 8:42 p.m.

The Cumberland Regional High School boys and girls cross country teams have it pretty rough in the Tri-County Royal Division.

The Colts reside in one of the toughest divisions in South Jersey. It’s home to such stalwarts as Highland, Kingsway, Delsea and Clearview, all of whom have the potential to reach the state meet every fall.

It makes life pretty miserable for the Colts during the regular season. Despite fielding a competitive squad, they are often on the wrong side of some lopsided results.

In a way to give his team a chance to run against comparable competition and to prepare for the looming county meet, Colts boys coach Jamie Bagley created the Cumberland Cross Country Classic last season.

He invited schools of similar size and talent, including many from the surrounding area, and tried to plan a fun day.

After a successful inaugural run, the event is back again today. There are at least six boys teams and five girls squads as well as a handful of middle school teams that will run in a shortened race.

“The coaches liked the fact last year that there weren’t any of the bigger schools or powerhouses,” said Bagley, whose team won the race last year. “They understand that is the environment they are coming into. Also, in our conference, there are no tri-meets so the kids get to run in a race with a lot of other runners. It gets the runners used to running in a big meet before their county and conference meets.”

The teams scheduled to participate are Cumberland, Schalick, Bridgeton, Sacred Heart, Woodstown and Gloucester. Medals will be handed out to the top 15 finishers in each race and the top 10 for the middle school race.

“Jamie Bagley is a great guy and a great coach, and I think it’s a fantastic idea because it’s a nice competition,” Woodstown boys and girls coach Joe Frassenei said. “It’s something different at the end of the year. We love going there, too.”

The Wolverines boys and girls are the probable favorites, according to Bagley. He won’t rule out Bridgeton or even his own team, either. Frassenei also tossed in the Schalick boys as a threat and thinks it could also be a good preview of the Salem County meet.

The course is the same exact one used by the Colts and also the one used for the Tri-County Conference Meet that is hosted by Cumberland.

“I got a lot of very positive feedback from last year, especially from the schools in the Tri-County,” Bagley said. “They love having the opportunity to be on that course before the conference meet and it helps motivate the kids. We wanted to find race conditions that will help our kids in the championship meets.”

Frassenei just wants to see his runners compete.

“We are trying to improve each day,” he said. “We are certainly going there with the idea to get better.”

Bagley noticed the benefits of the classic last season. After winning just one dual meet, his guys took the classic title and nearly turned it into a county crown. The Colts led the county race until the last kilometer.

“I have three kids from last year that benefited from it and they are really pumped up for this,” Bagley said. “For the new guys, the season has kind of been a blur for them and hopefully this will open their eyes a bit and give them more motivation than they have had in the past.”

That, in essence, is the goal.

Stay Healthy

Maintaining a Healthy Immune System
Do you catch colds and viruses often? Are you sick a lot? Do you have allergies? Are you run down and fatigued most of the time? You may have a weak immune system. Did you ever notice how some people catch everything and others are never sick and always full of energy? Different people have different immune systems. Our immune system is how we fight off infections and germs and cancer. Sometimes the immune system does not work properly, as with immunodeficiency disorders. These people are extremely susceptible to infection and cancer.

There are natural ways we can strengthen our immune system. Some of these ways are listed here:
window.google_render_ad();
-get plenty of sleep and rest, the body rejuvenates and strengthens when it is at rest. Many people like to think they can function just fine on 5 to 7 hours a night, but the truth is, we require at least 8 to 10 hours per night.
-cut down worry and learn to de-stress, there are studies that prove that stress and depression effect the body physically and can even weaken the immune system.
-eat a well balanced diet, don't skip meals. The four food groups have everything our bodies need to thrive. Learn the vitamins in your food and get a good dose of each one.
-always take a multivitamin, learn what your body is lacking. Ask your doctor what vitamins and minerals you should increase for your age. For example, women need extra calcium. We need extra folic acid as well.
-have a regular exercise regimen. Exercise makes our body stronger, increase circulation of blood and nutrients, and helps flush the body of toxins.
-drink plenty of water, this helps flush the body of toxins and keeps you well hydrated
-eat foods with high antioxidant levels. They are listed below. Antioxidants are vitamins in your diet that can reduce your risk of cancer and other diseases and can give your immune system a boost. Eat a diet full of fresh fruits and vegetables, which are excellent sources of antioxidants.
-Antioxident vitamins include vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, and beta carotine. Food sources include: fruits and vegetables, dairy products, melons, berries, dark greens, whole grains, dairy and meats (high protein).
