Things I Learned about Cross Country Runners this Season.
1. They are very dedicated. They are often on the track and ready to go by 6am.
2. They need a ton of food to fuel that much running. Also the food needs to be ready to go the second they walk in the door or the frig. will be emptied in a matter of seconds.
3. Cross Country Runners have lots of leg injuries:(
4. Cross Country Runners have THE worst feet. Blisters on blisters. Missing toe nails. Blood blisters and the list goes on.
5. Cross Country Runners are some of THE best sportsmen. They tend to compete more with themselves than other players.
6. Cross Country Runners develop a strong brotherhood. Hal's team had a learning disabled boy on their team. At every meet this boy ran, the team would gather at the finish line and cheer him in. Impressive young men!

Congratulations Hal!
One other observation:
Scouts are good cross country runners. In the UP CC finals, 3 of the top 10 finishers in division a were Scouts.
