The improvement from just three weeks ago was incredible to see. These athletes have continued to put in the work, trust the process, and compete. I am so proud of this group and everything they accomplished this season. They finished the year strong and gave us a wonderful way to close out the season!
Thank you to all of our runners, families, and supporters for making this season so special. We are already looking forward to seeing what the future holds for Everest cross country!
