“I believe that track and cross country teach valuable lessons about being a good person—lessons in selflessness that empower you to help others. The principles you learn from these sports carry over into every aspect of life. They instill dedication, hard work, and a commitment to both others and something greater than yourself. These are invaluable lessons that will stay with you forever. Running is a sport you can enjoy and benefit from for the rest of your life.”– Coach Scott Brinen
