Week 8 was an off week, no races. Many athletes are nursing injuries and we are beginning to gear down as we prepare for the last two meets and enter the championship phase of the season. The coaches look at this week as the perfect opportunity to recognized the season's hard work and efforts of a couple of our runners. These three athletes exemplify what cross-country is all about. There is no glory in our sport; no cameras, no crowds, there is only the self satisfaction that comes with hours of hard work.
TYLER BINGHAM--joined the team late and has been nursing an old football injury all season, however he never complains. He grits his teeth and runs through the pain. He is a solid and positive influence on the entire team. His hard work day in and out serves as a model for everyone else.
JACOB FOREMAN--is deaf, but he doesn't let that hinder him in life or in cross-country. He began the year unable to run a mile without stopping. His hard work, effort, and intense competitive spirit has earned him the respect of the entire team.
ARACELI REYES--what Araceli lacks in natural talent she makes up for in grit and determination. She is never slacking off. Her perseverance is inspirational as she is pushing and working as hard as the
front runners.
