Coach’s comment on upcoming season: “This girls team sets goals for themselves all season long, and they push and encourage each other to reach those goals,” said Amanda Seibert. “No matter what the outcome is at the end of the race, everyone runs the same distance, the same hills, has to overcome challenges. That’s what makes cross-country unique and builds camaraderie in a way no other sport does. Looking forward to more of those opportunities this season!”
