"I was hooked. I love xc"

Seeing all of these almost didn't do xc stories makes me want to share my own. Throughout middle school I hated running. Absolutely dreaded it. I played volleyball and basketball and golf but just running? No. After seventh grade I decided it would help me in other sports so I started running a mile a day during the summer. I thought it was awful but I did it. Volleyball was my real passion and I started pursuing it more and more, playing on clubs during the offseason, etc. I still ran but I didn't focus on it. during my freshman year I had a volleyball coach who ruined it for me. I loved the sport but decided to quit because the coach made me hate it. I started running more and more after that and decided to try xc. I was scared to death, but I was put on varsity and placed 3rd in my first meet. I was hooked. I love xc and wouldn't trade my experience for anything!
