This goes back about 10 years but I remember the team had an 8 minute mile requirement. Some of the kids made it on their first try, but a couple were really struggling. The players that didn't make it could not play in the fall games until they made 8 minutes. My kid made it without a problem, her friend was her catcher and a girl who wound up hitting 15 homers as a freshman.

My kid, a freshman, wound up being one of the timers for one of the runs,...needless to say she stopped the watch just enough for the catcher to make it at 7:59 flat.

She did realize the lifting was a different level than anything she did in HS. In the winter, her coach made the girls swim. They had to tread water for like 30 minutes. My kid really struggled with that.

I remember her coming home at Thanksgiving and everyone saying how "muscular" she looked.
