When I joined the track and field team my freshman year, I participated in running events, similar to what I did on the cross country team. The following year, I wanted to try something new on the team, which lead me to challenge myself by trying throwing events.

Trail is a multi-faceted word which applies to many aspects of my life. First and foremost, trails are my favorite places to run or hike. They are almost always peaceful runs, unless it is a five kilometer cross country race, then I am gasping for air. You never have to struggle with cars whizzing by or light, air or noise pollution.

Respect, commitment, teamwork, and leadership are all a big part of cross country.

enjoyment of running is not completely tied up in winning or losing; however, nothing motivated me more to become a better runner than not being able to represent my school at the state meet during the 2014 cross country season.

Our boys’ team entered regionals with a chance to run at state, but we missed it by a few points. Soon, it was my second season of cross country running. This year was

Cross Country. People often say to me, "Why do you run for fun?” The stereotype of running seems grueling for most people however we find joy in it. There is nothing better than accomplishing a run. The feeling that you can break through this earth with each step you take.

from sweat. I am running mile after agonizing mile and I am covered in endless mud. The rush running through my body to get to the front of the pack is like a pulsating electric shock.

year was terrifying, but I am so grateful I did because this moment during my first race taught me a lot about my strength and persistence when I am tested with any type of challenge.

freshman year. It was a down season; I had never had one until now. It hit me like how a foot hits the ground during the race: hard. My mind was filled with frustration, and my legs with lactic acid. The pain I had running a twenty one flat 5k, felt the same as the pain I had when running my personal record, but obviously the results were not the same. I put in all the work at practice but I still couldn’t get my times to where I wanted them. My season was not turning out how I thought it was going
