"My team is now my family and I couldn't be happier"

As sign ups approached I couldn't decide between XC- the sport all my friends were doing- or cheerleading. I decided to signup for XC with my friends. As the summer before season went on my mom talked me out of XC. The first week of school I went straight home because we didn't have a cheer coach. As all my friends were out running and having fun, I was sitting at home alone probably doing some homework like a good kid. The second week my friend forced me to practice and I loved it! I immediately fell in love. Now going into my senior year I have one full year of varsity experience and cannot wait to continue running at a D-3 college next fall! (I also met my current best friend in middle school XC) My mom now comes to meets and even yells on occasions! My team is now my family and I couldn't be happier.
