Personal and team goals are a focus of the cross country team this year because of the new captains’ leadership. They are hopeful their goal setting can lead their team to sectionals.

“It’s really nice to see our goals every day and try to accomplish them,” said captain and junior Patrick Schoenfelder.

In order to accomplish these goals, the runners all received a whiteboard for their lockers to write their goals. As goals are met, runners can erase them and create new ones.

“The other captains and I have really tried to focus on helping the [runners] set their goals…so that we have something to work towards,” said captain and senior Meghan Bohn.

The other captains, juniors Tessa Furlong and Allison Smith and seniors Nathan Borries and Tyler Glassman, agree this is helping the team remember their goals and have a successful season.
