With regional’s ending this past weekend, November 9th is just around the corner. What an eventful season it has been, but there is still one more race to go.
It's been a while since I have last wrote, but here we are with the state series having just started. It is almost hard to believe that the season is coming to a close already. It has surely been a great season for all the runners of Florida, and I bet everyone is excited to run these next couple weeks in order to reach the ultimate goal of participating in the state championship. A quick recap over the last few weeks has included Pre-States, the Metro East Conference Championship, and Districts.
Just when you think cross country was just starting, it is already coming to a close. It feels like yesterday it was just August, but turns out it is already October. With that being said, the conference meet and state series is only a few weeks away and the regular season is coming to a close.
Like cross country, school seems to be getting into full stride too.The past few weeks have been pretty busy and demanding, trying to manage practice and lots of AP work to do afterwards.The life of a student-athlete, like all of us are, is grueling sometimes, but like a race you have to keep moving along.
Week two of racing is finally in the books and I would like to say that it has been a blast to be back in the midst of a cross country season. The Timber Creek team took the short trip to Oviedo to race at the Hagerty Invitational. For the first morning meet of the season, I woke up earlier than I would have liked to, but by the end of the day it seemed to be all worth it. However, I will gladly wake up early for some of the cooler weather that was presented to us early in the day.
It was nice to spend my first Saturday in almost four months actually competing. After a meet where rain and lightning disrupted the Varsity races at Trinity Prep, this week the entire Timber Creek boys and girls program took the two and a half hour commute by school bus from Orlando to Jacksonville to compete in the Katie Caples Invitational.
Hello everyone! First, I would like to thank Todd and flrunners to allow me this opportunity to share my season with you. I am Brandon Marquez and I will be a sophomore for Timber Creek High School right here in Central Florida.
