Cross Country Team Preview

The cross country team starts soon. We decided to interview the coach, Mr. Little as well as an active runner. After careful consideration, we decided to interview young Luke Buck, a runner hoping to join the team.

Next, we interviewed Mr. Little, the cross country coach. We asked him why he decided to coach cross country for Ross, “Well, I’ve spent the last eight years in Europe coaching this, and I really love it”. We asked him what his expectations for the team were, and he responded “I believe we are lucky to have all these good runners.” We asked him what he thought was interesting about the sport. “I like that the course is always unique. I also like that there is a team component to racing. You have to be mentally tough.” With that, we thanked him for his time and finished the interview.
