William Katz, Coach
Cross country is a sport that combines
individual and team competition. Both con­
tribute to the overall self-gratification of the
sport.
As an individual, you learn your own capa­
bilities and from that you set achievable
goals. Personal triumphs, as well as defeats,
are common to this sport, but if there is only
one triumph during the year it makes the
whole season worthwhile.
As a team, there is a feeling of unity and
togetherness which is unique among sports
geared to the individual. Practicing with the
team everyday, you become aware of every­
one’s ability and come to really appreciate
the effort expended by your teammates.
The team spirit, individual and collective
competition and the personal triumphs at­
tained by running on a cross country team
make it one of the most rewarding activities
in high school.
