Cross Country: A Personal Perspective

Young

My cross country team is doing really well. We practice every day from 3 to 4:30 or 4:45.

We practice hard and we have fun all at the same time. We have meets during the week and sometimes on Saturdays.

We are a family at cross country and I love it because of how we treat each other; we have fun but if someone messes up we laugh about it, then help them. Cross country to me is a team working together to keep each other motivated.

We have had a couple meets so far and our last one wasn’t bad. The top three varsity boys  from September 15 were sophomore Sam Schuhl with a mile time of 5:23 and a second mile time of 5:36 which lead to a 16:57.31 overall time. His mile pace was 5:28, placing in 18th.
