"So far, this season (my first one running cross country atEmory) has been extremely challenging, yet very rewarding. I havedefinitely been pushed physically further than I ever have in mylife before, yet that makes the success you feel after finishing atough race that much more satisfying. The members of this team areall extremely dedicated runners, and the fact that we're allparticipating in this common activity has created a bond between usthat goes beyond just being running buddies; we have becomefriends. Coach Graham is an amazing coach, and if I were to becomea coach, I would definitely model my style after him. There was arace earlier this season where I remember finishing and improvingmy time a lot, and for the first time in as long as I couldremember, I actually felt satisfied with myself. I credit my beinga part of this team with helping me to find this sense ofsatisfaction."
