At the beggining of the season, He helps me set my goals.” Her father is another big contributor to her running. “He works really hard to video tape my meets and posting them on Youtube. He also puts my times on milesplit.com.”

“Everyone works so hard and many people don’t really get to see that.” Tegge will continue improving in her time and reaching her goals.

Sophomore Sarah Starrett is listed 1st in FAVC for the 3200. Starrett’s seasons best so far is 12:00. “By senior year i would like to have times fast enough to go to state. I feel like my performance is good,i am doing my best but i could defintely improve.”

With the season slowly coming to a end, this is the time to really work hard and strive to reach your goals. Tegge and Starrett have had a good season so far and still they have goals they wish to met.
