As one sport season
transitions into the next,
it is important to stop
and reflect on the growth
these teams underwent
the past few months.
Many members were
new to the high school
team; in fact, some
members were just new
to running. The run
ners became joined as
a team, they struggled
together through tough
training and they learned
greater lessons than just
triumphs on the cross
country course. They
learned to depend on
each other, they also
learned to depend on
themselves, and learned
to dig deep when
needed. These lessons
are applicable to life in
general and will carry
them far. Congratula
tions to both teams on a
strong season.
