About Cross-Country
By: Joey Everts
Okay, so my JV season in 2019 was
my last ever year of soccer. The last game was when I realized I didn’t want to
play soccer anymore. The excitement was all gone and I didn’t know what exactly
to do. I knew at the time I was a decent runner and that I could do track or
cross country. So during the time soccer was going on this year, I did
cross-country - probably one of the best decisions that I have made. During the
time of cross country this year, I have learned so much and I got to feel how a
real team was. Everyone on Wheatland-Chili’s cross-country team are always
positive and that’s what makes it so extravagant. We all care about each other and we all set
goals and work hard to achieve them. We are positive when we do good and we are
positive when we do bad. Going into my first sectionals race, I was really
nervous. I was talking to a group of young ladies before the race and we were
just all talking about how we all switched over from soccer to cross-country.
This was before the race and my adrenaline was just off of the charts. I was so
nervous, I didn’t even get their snapchats!!! So anyways I went to the start
line a few minutes before and saw my friend Ethan, that goes to Kendall and I
wished him good luck. There were sixteen different schools, and I don’t know
what was going to go down. I doubted myself but none of my teammates did! Coach
Glass was a major reason why I did as good as I did. He’s such an awesome coach
and he cares. I’ve realized that you need to try new things in life, and if you
don’t, you won’t know how it would turn out!
