The Cross Country season is starting with official meets this week. When asking Damien Hendrickson and Hailey Kropatsch about goals, efforts, and practices this is what they said. In terms of goals, both said they hope to see improvement in the team and themselves in the upcoming season. Hailey also hopes that they can make it to state as a team and Damien hopes to keep the injuries to a minimum. Their efforts have been good as they are pushing themselves and others in practice. With the practices, Damien says that there have been good and bad days but everyone is good at motivating each other and making practices more enjoyable. Hailey says that everyone on the team is making sure to have a good attitude which multiples to others making the season better. One of the things that Hailey is excited for is going to the meets and cheering everyone on as they run.
As you can see, this group is pretty close and has a fun time during the season. Their first meet is in Albion on Friday September 6. With many additional meets like Fremont and Norfolk to follow. If you want to support their home meet is October 4 out at Lutjelusche. So, if you see them in the hallway make sure to tell them good luck on their cross country season.
