Sophomore Claire Moulton is a member of the Law girls cross country team. Advocate News Editor Kaitlyn Goldberg interviewed her about how the season is going.
Kaitlyn Goldberg: How did it feel to do so well at the Nuebauer Invitational?
Claire Moulton: It felt really good to do well at the Nuebauer Invitational. I felt very accomplished and proud of myself.
KG: What is your favorite thing about cross country?
CM: My favorite thing about cross country has to be the team and how many friendships I have made. We are all so close and that’s one of the things I love.
KG: How do you train for meets?
CM: To train for meets we normally run about 5-7 miles and then once a week we will do either one of three things: either train hills, do a track workout or focus a lot of speed. The day before we meet we play kickball together which is a really fun team bonding experience and gives our body a chance to rest.
KG: What are some goals you have for the remaining season?
CM: My goal for the remaining season is to place in the Top 10 for my division in the SCC meet and to beat my personal time of 21:03. I hope that not only me but the team places well in states.
KG: What are some things you have worked on to improve your running time?
CM: I think doing more speed workouts and long runs to keep up my endurance really helped.
