A: I also participate with the cross country team.

A: The first thing that made me start running was when my mom told me that she was putting me in Girls on the Run after i moved here in 5th grade.
Q: What is it that you enjoy most about running?
A: My favorite thing about running is that i have the ability to set goals for myself that may seem impossible but in the end are achievable because of all the hard work i put in during the pre-season.
Q: What is your favorite thing about being on the track team?
A: My favorite thing about being on the SHS track team is being part of a team that has endless support for you.
