RUN SOH

Raiders hit the ground running
By: Stephanie Meza


As the new school year starts, many fall sports coaches are beginning their pre-season practices. One of the most challenging fall sports is cross country; you might recognize some of the raider runners wearing their RUN SOH sweaters around campus. However, many raiders wonder what the true meaning of RUN SOH means. Come join cross country, find out and be a part of it!


Last year, the cross country season had an excellent start having about 50 runners walk through the fall sports assembly. Unfortunately, less than 20 runners actually finished the season. If the athletes that quit had shown more commitment toward the team, they would have actually had a chance to win a banner for the school.


Now more than ever, the cross country team is recruiting people to come run this season. Yes, cross country is a difficult sport that requires speed and endurance, but as the old saying goes: ‘No pain, no gain.” Anyone can run, and anyone who wants to be a part of the team is more than welcome to give it a try. You’ll need a pair of running shoes, shorts, and most importantly enthusiasm and desire to run and help the cross country team win a banner and make the school proud.
