  NCAA Great Lakes Regional: men's cross country cover. Now we're at a point where we're moving to the higher-order things, like particulars in strategy and tactics. "And we're getting a greater return on our investment because of that. Conceptually, we can move forward at a greater rate, and it's starting to reflect itself in race results. The guys, with each year and a greater understanding of the program, are more confident in what they're doing. I'd love to be able to say you can rush the process, and I wish we could have the last couple years, but you can't." After the Wolverines arrived home from Madison, Wis., late Friday night, Gibby had them report for a long practice Saturday. He said Michigan should celebrate its regional championship for a few hours and then move on because only eight days separate the Great Lakes Regional from the NCAA Championships. "We have now gotten to the NCAAs three years in a row," Gibby said. "We're proud of that streak, but what we haven't done is do our thing at NCAAs as a unit. We have had guys run well, but we haven't had a team run well. "That is our goal, to execute what we have been preparing for all year in a crowded, deep NCAA field." — Andy Reid 2014 U-M Calendars Action Calendar Item #1180 (Pictured Left) $15.99 + S&H Vintage Calendar Calendars in stock now!
