This year the Lagunitas cross country team features eight members and three official meets. Each student has competed, and given it their all to finish strong, and beat their own personal best. After talking with members of the team many of them have said that cross country has been a great experience that has inspired them to build their stamina and train out of school. Every member is committed to this sport which can be seen by their frequent attendance and participation at practices.
The cross country team has gained more popularity this season, and with every member we have it always improves the overall experience. Everyone on the team has worked hard to race with a competitive and positive mindset, and we can see this with each member finishing their one and a half mile run in thirteen minutes or under. While interviewing Ella Wands, she expressed how much being on the team had positively benefited her, and how she had improved with the practice and support from her team. “ After joining the team my stamina and confidence have grown significantly, and even with the season coming to an end I plan to continue running on my own and at high school”.
