Like in any other sports team, having a good relationship between teammates is key for a successful season.
A team captain is an essential part of any team, they are like a second coach. Tempestini, the team’s captain, also gives an inside look on what being a team captain is like for him. “My experience as captain of the cross country team has placed a lot of new responsibilities on me, like being a role model for the younger ones and encouraging my teammates to push harder,” says Tempestini, 10th grade.
New team member, 9th grader, Gabriela Gonzalez-Orbegoso, shares her experience on the team this season, “My first meet went terrible to say the least, but I learned a lot from it, and it allowed me to go into the most recent meet with a whole new mindset, where I won 3rd place.”
It is safe to say the 2022-2023 DDCUS cross country team has many more wins ahead of them this season!
