“It’s really kind of cool that we have
more mature, experienced runners at the
varsity level and some younger guys who
are going to be able to learn from the
experienced guys,” Gould said.

When it comes to team goals, Gould
just wants his runners to put in the work
and improve.

“Section 1 is one of the most competitive
sections,”Gould said.“If you make it to the
state meet, you’ve really had a great season.
We’ve got some heavy-duty competition.
It’s hard to ask freshmen boys to get up
that caliber.”

e 2019 season will be Gould’s fourth
year at North Salem, but his rst as head
coach. He replaced Nick Kowgios, who
wanted more time to watch his son run for
Gettysburg College.

His strategy, which focuses on core
strength, is called “peaking.”

“When you’re training for something,
you want to peak at the right time,” Gould
said. “My program is designed to peak at
the end of the season.”

e end of the season, of course, is the
Section 1 meet, held at the notoriously
hilly Bowdoin Park, in Wappingers Falls.
With that in mind, his team spends a lot
of time training on hills.

“You can’t handle it unless you’ve done
it,” Gould said.

e rst meet of the year will be the Big
Red Invitational, held Saturday, Sept. 7, at
Somers High School.
