“I really enjoy running because it is a great way to get some fresh air and relax. I did not start cross country until the summer before my freshman year. Because of this, I have met many great people, made new memories, and I pushed myself outside of my comfort zone by trying something new. My favorite thing about running is exploring different trails or running on different courses. For example, we had a race in Hawaii this year where Jurassic Park was filmed. The course was gorgeous because it was surrounded by large mountains and trees. This sport is so unique, and I am so grateful I had the opportunity to play a part in this program. I cannot wait for the cross country season to return!” Katherine Ekizian ’25
