Cross country and track have the same coach, and most teammates continue to do both sports. Because the teams are so similar, they retain the same captains. I inputted 52 weeks per year for both sports, because I am always running and contributing to both sports. The sports mesh together; I help plan for Track during Cross Country, and vice versa.
Due to daily intense training, I suffered from shin splints in tenth grade.
