Cross Country

[lynyrdsky1]

Im on the Cross Country team at my school, and this year was part great and part disappointment. We have been running since this past June. Every single meet our varsity has competed in we won in our division. After all that hard work, we made it to regionals.

This year we did the best in school history averaging 17:55 for 7 runners and we had 3 runners in the top 10. We lost the regionals as a team and the top runners couldn't run in state. What went wrong?

Our coach made a mistake and had us run 8 runners which we thought we had done before but sadly, that technicality screwed us. Theres nothing we can do about it. It's our fault and thats the truth. Too many parents on our team getting all worked up about it.

On a personal note I just beat my best time by 3 minutes and now im running 24:55. Im on JV by the way

Congrats on your personal accomplishment. As far as the team goes, the 2011 season may have ended in disappointment, but it did end. It's over. Now it's time to start preparing for 2011. Don't wait until June.

Yea i know that. Thats why after I ran that time my coaches said theres a higher expectation now. Most of the team has already started running again including me cause we are getting ready for track.

oh haha you changed your post. There was nothing wrong with it just constructive criticism

[SDoolittle]

You changed yours too. Since you added the part about  the technicality, I decided to delete the constructive criticism. I don't know how you saw that. It was only up for a few seconds.
