"we made cross country state for the first time in school history"

I was a sophomore in high school and I had heard about cross country before. The baseball coach told me I should try out because we do just as much running in baseball (that's what he said anyway). Still, I was not about to run a 5k everyday. Well, a week into XC practice the XC coach came to my classroom and made me sign a form to run. One of my friends basically told him to come and make me join as a joke. I ended up falling in love with the sport. I've made more friends running than I have in any other sport. My senior year of XC our team made it to state for the first time in school history and I placed 15th. By far the best decision of my life was to stick with cross country.
