Excerpt from Cross-Country Techniques Illustrated Cross-country running goes as far back in the history of the human race as almost any activity we know. We can visualize the cave man run ning over the hills and plains in search of food or to safety from preying enemies. Mobility of ancient armies originally depended upon their ability to run with their weapons, and the first competition over hills and dales no doubt took place on an informal basis between the cave men or the ancient soldiers. The resourceful English were the first to place the sport of long distance running across the country on a highly competitive basis. In fact, the now famous crick run of Tom Brown's School Day: was first recorded as taking place about 1837. It is interesting to note that in England the first teams were fielded by the colleges, but they soon lost interest. Athletic clubs took over and pushed the sport to its current European popularity. In America, just the opposite took place. The clubs, such as the West chester Hares and Hounds Club and the New York American Athletic Harriers, were running over the hills in the 1870's. A Short time later, hundreds of clubs sprang up throughout the east on a recreational hares and hounds basis. While club athletes were enthusiastic about cross country running, the Officials who controlled the purse strings were not. Due to a lack of finances, club cross -country running began to disappear.

Distance and Cross Country Running (Classic Reprint) available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Excerpt from Distance and Cross Country Running America's middle distance runners and sprinters arc famous throughout the world. Her distance runners rank second only to the Englishmen, whose climate and general upbringing have made them peerless in this one branch of sport. These are the two salient points that strike one in glancing hastily down the vista of American champions from 1876 to the present day. The American sprinter and quarter-miler are the best in the world today, and they have been so ever since 1880, only four years after the first American championships were held. The half-milers have found their equals in England, though that famous American distance runner. Kilpatrick, holds the best half-mile record ever made. But in such men as Brediti, who defeated Kilpatrick in England; Workman of Oxford, Cross, Tysoe, the late world's champion, and numbers of others, our British cousins have shown an equality. In mile running, it is true we had the greatest of all distance runners (W. G. George alone excepted) in the person of Tommy Conned, who. running under New York Athletic Club colors, made the present world's amateur record of 4 minutes 15 3-5 seconds. But Conned was not American born, and thus the credit for the performance is shared with the Britishers. The best mile record ever made in America is that held by George W. Orton, at 4 minutes 21 4-5 seconds, while in England hardly a year rolls by that some new man does not beat 4 minutes 20 seconds.
