Junior Rebecca Peterson participates in cross country for her second year.

When asked why she joined, Rebecca said, ” Because its fun, helps keep you in shape, helps keep you busy and can help relive anger and frustration.”

When I asked Rebecca what does she enjoy about cross county, she said, “I love the feeling of winning, talking with friends and the feel of the wind.”

When I asked Rebecca what advice she has for incoming runners, she said, “Don’t drink milk before you run. Don’t eat junk food, especially McDonald’s.

Rebecca has won many metals for competing.

“Only the first 30 runners will get a medal,” said Rebecca, so that’s why Rebecca is always working hard to win.
