The season has finally started. It's crazy to think that this is going to be my last high school xc season. While this is my last season, my sister Alexis is starting her first season of cross. I'm glad that she has been around the sport for a few years so she has a base knowledge of what is going on. When I started I just ran where they told me to go. My other sister Grace will be entering her sophomore year, and after dodging an injury is running well. I'm really getting excited for the first meet. Our boys team is looking as good as I can remember. I only wish that I could spend a little more time with the team. Because I am in soccer as well as xc I have to balance practices, games, and meets. Fortunately no games and meets interfere with each other. For the past three weeks balancing practices has been easy run in the morning with the team go to soccer at four. With school coming up things are about to get harder. I will still probably run in the mornings but will have to get up much earlier. As a team we worked really hard this summer and I can't wait to see all that hard work pay off. It's going to be a fun season.

The second week of practice has so far been a hot one. But the girls have been nothing but positive! The older girls that have been running all summer were told to do their longer of their two runs in the morning and in the afternoon, run with some of the newer girls. I decided to run with Alexia Scott, an 8th grader who ran for the team last year, who was having some trouble with her ankle. She almost stopped and went 2 miles instead of 3, but said that I helped encourage her to do her full mileage even in the brutal weather. The girls are a combination of nerves and excitement for our first meet this Saturday in Hillsboro. For a lot of them, it will be their first cross country race ever. It's going to be really exciting to see how everyone's hard work will pay off!
This season is going to be really exciting for the girls! People will definitely be surprised!
