The Rundown
Once again, the Brighton cross country site a huge help, a few things stand out to me from Nikki. Her appreciation for her teammates when things aren’t so easy and her love for racing. In her three years with the Bulldogs, there have been some moments that aren’t as great as the others. After a race at Portage with her first breakthrough into the 18’s, although finishing 13th, Nikki didn’t have her greatest effort at KLAA. After nearly matching her personal best and contributing to a team title in Region 4, she was closer to 20:00 and 100th place at State. After each of those two subpar races, she came back with either a lifetime best or very close. Continually pushing her body to new limits via hardcore racing, coming back after setbacks, Nikki, along with Carrigan and her Brighton teammates, are ready to close 2023 on a memorable note.
