“Hard work pays off”
How do you feel about how your last season ended?
“Very gratifying! This is the first time a girls team has qualified for state in cross country. I thought the boys team could trophy in state and did. They really worked for it all year long, starting at the end of May. They ran on their own when they were asked to, ran all summer, waking up early and running, running two-a- days really paid off. I am very proud of the way the season ended.
What are your goals for this upcoming Season?
“The goal for this season is to build the program while still being competitive.”
