I first discovered Cross Country during my sophomore year in 2023. Until then, I had only raced in short distance track competitions. There is something about racing that has always pushed me to improve myself both on and off the track. The discipline required in Track and Field has helped me to excel in many extracurricular organizations I belong to such as FCCLA,National BETA club, and FFA. When my coach suggested I try out for Cross Country team last year, I was excited at the opportunity to try something new. Transitioning from short distance to long distance running was truly a challenge. However, with time and dedication, I improved my personal record time and now hold my own with some of Bleckley County's top cross country runners.
