The future promises to be great for many reasons.  First, cross country welcomes all girls, of all abilities, who want to work hard and be part of a team.  No one is ever cut from this sport.  Rather, the team offers a place where all runners can see and enjoy the fruits of their efforts very directly, as improvement is directly linked to effort. Second, the team’s success is a result of the friendships that are made and developed.  Our winning ways stem from our commitment to one another.
