School cross country team has been one of the most rewarding yet stressful experiences of my life. For the past five years the Sutton cross country team has been a second home to me and season after season I return thirsting to vanquish a competitive fire.

While I believe all coaches say it‚ I can say without a doubt that my Cross Country team works the hardest out of every sport.

Cross-country was the only sport that kept my life from falling apart. But‚ tragedy struck as soon as I entered my freshmen year in high school. My hip plates had not fused which caused discomfort leading in the result of cutting off running till it healed. The news was unbearable for me as all I wanted to do was run. Staying away from running was difficult as I watched individuals do the sport I loved. I didn’t let that stop me as I strived to stay in shape. My mornings would consist of thirty minutes
