Daily News | How 5 runners from New Zealand found their place on La Salle’s cross country team
. Five of them are creating a small yet growing pond and setting the pace for future runners from their country at La Salle.
Attending university in New Zealand doesn’t involve sports scholarships. The same significance is not there for collegiate athletics as it is in the United States, which pushes international athletes to look elsewhere, usually involving a trek halfway across the world. Since then, four more, including Rowe and Dawson, have followed in his tracks — none of which had visited the university’s campus before committing.
“Yes, they have a lot to learn, but I think they also have a huge upside of not being overexposed to training, not being overdeveloped when they’re younger,” he said. “From our perspective, New Zealand has been a really good place to find the cliche like diamonds in the rough a little bit,” said Peterson.
Added Dawson: “Coaches obviously care about you as athletes, but then it seems Tom and Tyler really care about you as a person as well. They seem to like the extra mile for each athlete and the team.”
