Eddy Graham As the season approaches, the Jeffersontown Cross-Country team sees a bright season ahead. After a pretty positive season last year with a small team, the pack is led by a few seasoned seniors: a senior-to-watch, Ben Lush. “The season usually passes pretty quickly, but our progress does not go unnoticed” says Ben. Each runner pushes one another to a whole new level of athletic excellence and eventually victory. Led by Coach Brown, everyone is committed to improving. Most of the runners take time from their day to improve stamina, speed and endurance. Some run for as much as two hours preparing for the next meet. Even though the drive to be the best is important, Coach sees and acknowledges true effort given by her runners. Whether the race they run is slow, fast, or at a top-gear competitive pace, Coach is proud to know all effort was put forth into the meet. Each runner cares for one another as if they were all family. To some, they consider those they run with to be their family! Progression is a definite goal for this year’s Cross-Country Chargers. “Being a small group brings us close together and ultimately creates larger goals. ” comments Lush. (12) Their numbers have grown since last season. However, that does not mean any slacking will be tolerated. “Anything less than one-hundred percent effort will not be accepted.” says Coach. The runners have already begun their conditioning for the upcoming season and plan to be more than ready for their first encounter with the enemy. Back our Chargers as they race to the finish!
