Pokes Pod: Winning a National Title with Dave Smith

Entering the NCAA Cross Country Championships, Dave Smith knew he had a difficult decision to make. He had 10 men in Charlottesville for seven spots in the race. There is a method to Smith’s madness. Even though he was finalizing the roster minutes before the race, he told his runners 36 hours in advanced who believed would be competing. Smith’s final decision—for both the men and women—was ultimately the right one. The women finished on the podium for the second year in a row., while the men were crowned national champions.
