Brophy Hurdlers jump over their 4'' obstacles


Coaches encourage their runners to keep going when endurance and stamina are required like in the long distance races 


 Brophy long distance runners run the curve in a race: experienced runners are able to keep a fast pace for a long duration of time in these races
