Vanessa Garcia (Div. 802) is a sophomore and she has been running since freshman year. Her biggest motivator is Coach Greg and her friend Adrian. For Vanessa, the most challenging part of the season was “having to come back after bad races.” Vanessa was also injured twice. One was during to track season, and then in the very beginning of the cross country season. Both injuries required a number of months to recover from. “I had a lot of catching up to do, so I slowly began ease back into the season, build up my mileage and was back to training,” Vanessa said. Despite the obstacles, Vanessa took City Champion at the var-soph level. “I beat my personal record by 30 seconds.” She is Hubbard's best runner. She says coss country has changed her completely. “I love the sport and I love running. The sport makes me work harder everyday to reach my goals” Next year Vanessa is planning to train all summer long, and work harder to go into her junior year even better. Overall, the best part of the sport was being part of a team, everyone grew a relationship, and improved since day one. Comments are closed.
