INTERVIEW BY ANA BARRETT
 

How has the 2012 cross-country season been going so far this year? Well, we are three weeks into the season and our main goal is to get the girls healthy and have the boys pack up. As usual, there are many injuries we need to take care of while it is still early in the season. We’ve put the work in; we just need to get everyone healthy. Our Junior Varsity boys won the meet Saturday, Sept. 8 at North Fayette.

 

How do the numbers look this year? This year is a rebuilding year for us because we lost a few strong seniors in the last two years. We have a large amount of freshman girls that show a lot of promise. We’re on the high end in terms of numbers this year with about 40 kids out, which is always great to have.

 

What are your goals for the season? I want to see the girls get quicker and have the boys move up if they want to have a chance of going to State. We’re 3A-good, not quite 4A-good. We also need to get Dakota Tell and Abby Heiderscheit healthy for the varsity girls’ team.
