~:[CH8 - Day 189]:~ First Steps
Just like we look forward to the first steps of a child, on the first day of XC, athletes sometimes come stumbling out of the blocks hoping to get used to it all. It's not an easy thing to do. It's not an easy sport to join and get used to. However, with the right mindset and perseverance, almost anyone can develop into a solid cross country runner if they work at it. We had one of our best first day turnouts in our program's history, which is saying a lot. It's hard to get everything organized and to get cards when this happens, but it leaves you with a good feeling in your heart. Hoping that this trend continues, I am excited to see what is ahead for this group of young athletes. Like the upperclassmen who took these same first steps before, even if in the wrong direction or they fell as they took that first step, I know that with determination, they'll be able to keep striding forward.
