RUNNING

I am a distance runner. I used to run for Hillsborough High School, until I graduated. My favorite sport to compete in is Cross Country, where teams run in 5000 meter (3.1 mile) races through natural terrain courses. Running keeps me in excellent shape, and it's a great feeling crossing the finish line ahead of people. In running, you can see a direct effect from hard training. If you don't work, you simply will not be good. A good team will have the leadership and discipline to work out hard, stretch well, and warm up, and cool down right. There is strategy to racing, despite what some people may think. You have to plan your race to have enough energy to keep a steady pace. Most of all, you need to have a lot of courage and heart to push your body to the limits. Though most people like to talk big and act like they could do it if they wanted - "It's just running!" - most people cannot because they do not have the motivation.
This page contains information about me as a runner, my team, other teams, and whatever else I want to put about running.

Here were my stats for my high school seasons. We won the County Championships for the first time in our team's history in 1998! Our record was 8-2 with losses to Hunterdon Central and Bridgewater. My senior year I had ITBS, an injury which put me out for a LONG time. My only time worth mentioning really was a 17:59 at the Conference Championships which actually placed me higher than last year: 34th place. Our team had only one loss that year, although we didn't regain our county title.
