Video: Cross Country Team Training on the National Mall

In order to prepare for the upcoming Patriot League Championships, the American University men's and women's cross country teams leave the confines of campus and train in West Potomac Park, which is mere footsteps from the Lincoln, Washington, and F.D.R. Memorials in the heart of downtown Washington, D.C.

In this video, we hear from Head Coach Matt Centrowitz as he explains why the team trains on the National Mall, his training philosophies and what the goals of the program are.
