Intersquad Meet and the Cross Country Banquet!

Some of the Team, Hanging out!

This past weekend for me, was one that was all about sports, which is definitely a great way to avoid the stress coming from finals! On friday night, there was a banquet for all of the different fall sports, and it was great to get another varsity letter, and get to hear about all of the success all of our different athletic teams had this fall. One thing I really like about Coe is just how supportive everyone is of all of the different organizations, I love the fact that not only do I go to things like football games, tennis matches and swim meets, but also that the swimmers and the tennis and football players will come out and watch us run!

On Saturday we had our first offical full team meeting, and it was also an intersquad meet, where everyone got to race against teammates, and sort of gauge where they are after their fall training. I personally did not race, as my ribs are still not allowing me to run, but it was great to get to be there supporting my teammates, and I know that come January 12th I will be able to race hard! As a whole, everyone not only got to race, but this was also a great opportunity to get to know our teammates!

Although the meet, and the all sports banquets were fun, my favorite part of the weekend was actually Sunday, which was our cross country team banquet. For this banquet, we get to go to a really nice brunch place in Cedar Rapids, and eat some pretty awesome food! We also get the opportunity to meet one last time as a whole team, and celebrate our season, and honor our seniors! It was awesome all being together, and it made me realize how lucky I am to be on a team that is as close as we are, and I know that they will always have my back!
