| The SJHS Boys and Girls Cross Country Teams | 113.87 KB |
The kids on the Springville Cross Country Team are absolutely amazing! About 32 kids signed up to run this hard, exhausting, fun event.
The team has practice everyday except on the weekends and when they have meets. They have one meet a week. They have to run a mile and a half at every meet.
“I love Cross Country; it gets all my stress out and feels good,” said Kaitlyn Gee, a member of the Cross Country team. “The practices are hard and planned out, but still fun. Mondays and Wednesdays are especially hard,” said Kaitlyn Gee.
Cross Country is similar to track because it is a running sport, but it is also different because the course is different.
Mrs. Bodily is the Cross Country Coach. “I love coaching; it’s a lot of fun,” said Mrs. Bodily.
“Mrs. Bodily is awesome! She pushes you hard and is super fun,” said Kaitlyn Gee.
Mrs. Bodily likes that all the kids wear the same shirts because it makes her feel like they are a team and are unstoppable.
According to Mrs. Bodily, Grant Gardner broke the boys record by running the mile and a half at 7:55. Many kids are wanting to beat the records. “My favorite part of Cross Country is when the kids beat their personal records. It makes them (and me) feel good,” said Mrs. Bodily.
When you sign up for cross country, you are making a huge sacrifice. You give up all your time and energy for something you love. It is a great opportunity. Go Knights!
