Cross country collaborates with LHS team
“Everyone was excited about having the opportunity to meet each other and work together,” says Lahser Cross Country Coach Nick Stration. “I know from the experience that if they had any doubts [about one another or if this would work] before, that there were none after.”
Exchange students find niche on cross country team
Sprinting across the finish line, sophomore Lena Gomer throws her arms up in triumph, listening to the cheers coming from her coach and teammates. Savoring the moment, she smiles, realizing an experience like this would never happen back in her own country.
Impeccable Feet
There’s 10 seconds left in the race. Coach Phillip Laliberte is shouting like crazy, encouraging a last second sprint. The runner’s are about to pass out from exhaustion. As the finish line approaches, both senior Jason Lelend, and sophomore Harrison Kenum are behind a runner from Berkley, but they make a lass second pass on the runner from Berkley.
Running through the generations
Beth Sinclair prepares for her cross country meet, stretching and tying her shoes. She has butterflies in her stomach as she steps up to the starting line. Also on her mind is her sick mother in the hospital who could not be at her race. Sinclair doesn’t expect much from herself as she begins running the difficult course. She comes to a large hill, and the thought of her mother motivates her to run faster and she begins to pass the other runners. She continues to run faster and faster, and as the others fall behind, Sinclair finishes the race, qualifying for state finals.
