Glastonbury girls cross country has won 14 Class LL titles. Here's how the Guardians keep winning

The Glastonbury girls cross country team has won an impressive 14 Class LL titles, having captured the championship in both the CIAC Girls Cross Country Championships and the State Open team championships. This success has been a result of the team's dedication to supporting each other, their strategic training approach, and their low-mileage program, which minimizes the risk of injury.

Head coach Brian Collins attributes the team's success to its consistency in maintaining the same training methods over the years, while also adapting them to the specific needs of their runners and the course conditions. Some notable past champions include Lauren Parrett, Lindsay Crevoiserat, Kristin Mitchell, and Brooke Strauss, with many of them now excelling at the collegiate level.

The program has enjoyed success in various seasons, including back-to-back Class LL and State Open championships, as well as New England team championships.
