Called his shot!

This week on the podcast, Dylan Cote told us he thought about winning the NESCAC during his summer training and felt like he could do it.

Well, he did.

Dylan Cote continues his winning ways and secures his first NESCAC title.

The last two NESCACs, he was 33rd and 20th. Can call himself a champion now.

RACE DAY!!! 🖤🤍❤️

11:00am - Women’s 6k Race
12:00pm - Men’s 8k Race by @wes_xctf

“I lost my shoe my freshman year at nationals and ran the whole race with it half on. If I can make a similar jump this year with both shoes on, that would be very cool.”

We sit down with Dylan Cote to talk about his win at the Conn College Invite.

The junior from Wesleyan feels great about where he and his team are at this season. They’ve turned a corner from last year and want to ride this momentum into the post season.

He breaks down the race for us, his training, and goals for the rest of the year. His turning point was running 14:20 at the F.I.R.E meet last spring.

Catch Dylan at NESCACs this weekend.

Listen wherever you get your podcasts or on YouTube

🆕 POD JUST DROPPED

We got Noah and Dylan from @wes_xctf in the lead-up to the NESCAC Championship meet on Halloween this Saturday 🏃

On this week's pod, we discuss Noah's deep Wesleyan family lineage, how a lack of soccer skill led to finding a home in cross country, running 90 miles a week, stuffed pepper love and hate, and much more 🎧
