This past weekend I had the honor to compete in the 2024 XC National Championships for NCAA D2. I made big improvement this season and managed to jump up 71 places from last year going from 124th in 2023 to 53rd in 2024. I see Nationals as an opportunity to represent not just SWU but Conference Carolinas as well as my other Running families in Pendleton and BDRC. This big championship race always feels like everything coming together and that is something I love about it. Anyway rant aside thanks to everyone who helped me get this far and thanks to Coach Trey for coming along on this wild ride with me. Coach Trey and I not only completed this past weekend but also saw the Red Woods, went to SeaQuest, and to the Underground Mini golf course. Overall, a great trip!
