Description:	Cross Country is one ofthe hardest sports I willever do. There is no oneout there telling you exactly how to run. Everyoneruns differently. There isno one telling you whenyou should stop or when tokeep going. You have to beself-motivated. At firstrunning is just running,now its something Hove todo.Mary Scanlan(Cross Country), itys sodifficult! Vve played everysport you can think of, andthis is the hardest! In othersports, you can have substitutions and timeouts.Cross country takesdisicpline and stamina.You may need that in othersports too, but especially incross counrty. In a race,you cant stop or be replaced by a teammate. Youalso have to make yourselftrain everyday. Believe me,its worth it!Aubry WilliamsFront Row: Erika Knight, Elizabeth Antelept, Morgan Volrich, Lizzie Somers, Aubrey Williams, Abby StaffordSecond Row: Sarah Gilliland, Mary Scanlan, Lindsay Kinder, Lindsey Andersen, Kelley Schilke, Brooke UsreyThird Row: Coach Hollers, Amber McKinney, Sarah Smith, Jenny Curtis, Shellie Beeker, Sarah Miller, Elizabeth JohnsonSophomore SarahMiller moves up onEdgewood andB I o o m f i e I dopponets duringthe North Invite.QuoteUnquoteWhat is the most difficult part of cross country?Competition and the first days. My first practice last year wasNO fun. I did not want to run anymore; we only ran two miles too!But I stuck with it, and now I love it!- Mary Scanlan, sophomoreWhat did you find to be the most fun?Being with everyone and being a big family at meets, practices, and dinners. And being pretty muchthe only sport that does stuff with the guys!- Sarah Miller, sophomoreIn your opinion, is cross country easier or more difficult compared to other sports you may have participated in, or just in general?Harder. You really need to train hard to get ready for the meets or even for the camps. Almost everyday,the practices are difficult.-Abby Stafford, sophomore78m
