EA girls cross-country has had a great season so far. We have raced at both the Choate and Northfield Mount Hermon Invitationals. In our dual meets, we defeated Berwick Academy and NMH and came in a close second to St. Paul’s. Our greatest strengths are our sense of team camaraderie and love of the sport. A solid base of new runners has proven themselves to be fierce competitors. One person cannot win a meet for us, no matter how fast she runs; we depend upon consistently strong scores from all the girls. To build our stamina, we have a rigorous practice schedule, including track workouts, hill repeats, tempo, and long runs. Cross-country depends not only on physical strength but also on strength of the mind. It takes an incredible amount of focus to make it through a hard workout or to come out on top in a race. We have two great coaches who tailor workouts to meet individual needs and to help us reach our full potential in races. We aspire to keep winning races by trying our hardest and becoming better pack runners. —Sarah Van Cleave ’13
