Jonathan Law’s girls cross country team had an excellent finish to their fall season.
Junior Claire Moulton feels her team has made great progress throughout the season.
“The team has improved so much since our first meet of the season to the last one,” Moulton says. “Everyone on the team made improvements this season and I’m so proud of everyone.”
Moulton is also proud of her achievements this season and is prepared to reach her goals for next season.
“It feels really good to go All-State this season, and for that to be my second time back-to-back is really exciting,” Moulton said. “My goal for next season is again to go All-State and next year hopefully break 20 or get in the low 20’s.”
Senior captain Elizabeth Roos had a great season as a captain and a runner.
“As a captain, I led practices and workouts such as road runs and track workouts alongside my co-captains,” Roos said. “I also helped introduce the underclassmen to the sport, as many of them had never run a 5k before.”
Roos also explained her development from freshman year.
“Personally, I have grown a lot since freshman year. Before I started cross country I had only run a couple of 5K’s for fun,” Roos said. “But since then I have dropped about six minutes off my time.”
Senior captain Maya Rosado shares her favorite memories from cross country.
“My favorite part of cross country is definitely the team aspect,” Rosado said. “You get to meet so many people you wouldn’t have been friends with before and become a family.”
Rosado is proud of her team and her personal accomplishments.
“I’m proud of the whole team, especially the new girls for showing up every day, working hard, and listening to me and the other captains,” Rosado said.
Sophomore Emily DeLucia is proud of her improvement throughout the season.
“My goal for next season is to continue to improve my times and set a good example for the incoming freshmen,” DeLucia said.
Sophomore Skye Hamilton believes that this past season was great for everyone.
“I really feel that this past season went well for the team,” Hamilton said. “We definitely had a rocky start, but everybody improved significantly by the end of the season.”
