Going into the league games, Mr. Milleson, the Cross Country coach says, that his team’s thoughts are that they are very confident. They try not to worry because they already know that they will be great. Just in case anybody does not know what Cross Country is, it is a running sport in which teams and individuals run a race on open-air courses over natural terrain such as dirt or grass. Coach Milleson mentions that “Sometimes, the runners are even referred to as harriers (dogs)."
He said he has two key players. It is hard to choose just one because he has a few. Those few are Thayne Krumbah and Caleb Marsh. He says “They are both great students/runners. They are always in front of everybody, and are very good at running.Everybody is always ready to go, and on time to practice.”
Thayne Krumbah told me that that the most difficult thing about being on the cross-country team is that “You run until you puke. There is no stopping, even if you are tired. Kids run so fast, and try so hard, that you can sprain your ankle, knee or other parts of your body. But the most dangerous thing is running until you puke or pass out, because there is absolutely no stopping.” Thayne works as hard as he can and runs miles and miles in his free time. He works at it, exercises, and tries his hardest. He is always ready and “can't wait to start.”
Thayne Krumbah continues, “This year is going great so far. We have had our ups and downs, but that's okay. We are coming together as a fairly big team." There are 35 boys on the cross-country team. However, Coach Milleson seems to love it, and handle it quite nicely.
I enjoyed getting to talk to some of the players and getting to know about their team.
