1 Ava Ammari (7) leads Middle School Cross Country runners to a fun practice, racing out of the Priory entrance with a grin on her face. Jessica Fathers (8) and Kai Cassel (7) follow closely behind, ready for another great run. “It’s our first three mile run of the year! I hope we don’t crash and burn!” exclaimed Jessica, eager to run one of her longest distances.
2. Ava waves enthusiastically to her friends cheering her on from the sidelines. Community and friendships are especially important in this sport.
3. After a long run, the Middle School Cross Country team members show their dedication by further exerting themselves in a workout. Samantha Skarakis (8) and Stella Axe (6) push through the pain of crunches out on the field.
4. Mr. Marsheck rides his bike alongside the cross country runners, sporting a blue Priory shirt. Making sure nobody gets lost, he keeps the runners going on track. Ava says her favorite part of Middle School Cross Country is “Mr. Marsheck and his hilarious stories and jokes that he tells us.”
