By Rachael Wiggins The Interstate 35 Cross Country team ran a great race last Thursday at the district meet in Atlantic, qualifying tworunners to state. To qualify, runners must finish in the top ten. Maddie Beeler, a senior, and Holly McKinney, a sophomore, bothmade the cut. Beeler finished tenth and will make her first state appearance this Saturday, October 26, while McKinney finishedfourth and will be running at state for the second year in a row.
“There comes a point during a race when you have to reach deep inside and think, “How bad do I want this?” You haveto be tougher than the rest of the competition, both mentally and physically,” commented McKinney.
“I’ve worked hard all season for this, but I know that without Holly’s support, it wouldn’t have been possible. Icouldn’t ask for a better teammate and friend,” added Beeler with a smile.Both also shared that their personal motto for the season is ‘Run and Done!’ Good luck at state, girls!
