~:[CH8 - Day 281]:~ Growing Up Quickly
You hear the story quite often. A child having to step up to raise a family or fill in as the guardian to their younger brothers and sisters. It's not an easy role as sometimes they're not ready to step up into that role. However, it pushes them to grow up quickly. In cross country terms, when you have a number of veterans leave, it requires the young ones to grow up quickly and that is what is happening to our team. A few years ago, the boys started the process and have grown, although the path was tough, they've not only improved themselves, but the team around them. The girls lose a big core of their team last year, but have bounced right back, taking down team times from previous years. They're not a veteran team by far, but they've already taken the strides towards making history. With PRs galore and team times improving weekly, who knows where both teams will end up, but I'm sure we're headed in the right direction. It's not really fair when you don't get the same amount of time to slowly develop into the role, but when you grow up quickly, you may also find opportunities that you wouldn't have had before and find the independence that will quickly bring success your way.
