Paul Short Cross Country

On Friday, the Liberty XC team raced at the Paul Short invite at LeHigh University in Bethlehem, PA. It was an interesting trip to Bethlehem, with it raining hard the whole way there and having a broken windshield wiper. Coach Scott was awesome and tried to fix it, but to no avail so we drove most of the 6 hours to PA with only one windshield wiper. Good thing the one that worked was on the drivers side!


The course was super muddy because of the tropical storm that was heading up the coast. We got really dirty....

But it was so much fun!We ended up with a school record (Jenn Klugh - 20:57, 18th place), 3rd fastest time in school history (Me - 23 second PR, 21:17, 28th place) and Hailey Neal was right behind me. I actually felt mentally tough and raced really well - I passed so many people instead of having so many people pass me like what usually happens - at least the last couple of years.

Anyway, moral of the story is this: I love my team, and I am feeling great running (I think I'm still on a running high from last week.....)

Have a wonderful day!
