My career at Conrad Weiser

I don't know what to say but that my years with this team have been some of the best of my life. I spent hours a day with Pete, my coach, and my teammates sweating and working hard. I had a lot of fun and I'll always remember the work we put in together to win counties 3 years in a row and become repeat district champions. I was blessed with great teammates to train with and a great coach to teach me what I know today. Although I didn't perform as well as I'd hoped in my last couple of races, I know that I gave everything I had as a part of this group and although my high school career has ended, I still have a lot to go through. My running career is actually just beginning. Liberty will be a great experience for me. While I'm there though, I will always look back and remember the days with CWXC and know that my love for running originated with the Conrad Weiser Cross Country Team. I love you Clint, James, Nate, MnM, Ryan, P.D., T.J., Andy, David, Alex, and Pete. Thanks for all you've done for me. A lot of people leave high school and lose touch with all of their friends from back home. I know it will be different with you guys though. We've become so close over the years that it will be impossible to not be friends anymore. I'm glad I can say, you guys will always be my friends and family, and even though I'm leaving, I know I'll always be a part of CWXC.
