The Rundown
Boring are the careers and timelines where everything moves forward smoothly. Give me the girls and boys with struggles, extraordinary efforts, and an ending that makes you appreciate their work.
Katie’s high school career is two years young at this point, containing many of the above races and overall composition. There have been struggles at XC State Meets, running a bit slower than she had at earlier points in that year. Extraordinary efforts, such as winning Bluejay, Spartan, Big North, and Region 10.
The ending to this two-year stretch was a track season that everyone can appreciate. PRs from every event, stretching from the 400m to the 5000m. A Big North distance triple full of victories. Proof that XC States are just a blip, because Berkshire ripped off a 10:47 to place second.
Trust that Katie will give us many more stories in the coming years.
