Golden Spike Winners: Leilah Absi and Maddie Fisher

Maddie Fisher: Maddie was a little nervous before her first high school cross country race which is very normal. She calmed herself down and crossed the line with a solid time and a big smile…maybe she was just happy to have some cold water too ; ) We are so proud of you for facing the challenge and completing your first race….a very hot one at that!

Leilah Absi: Congratulations to Leilah on competing in her first varsity race! She picked a difficult course on a difficult day against very talented competition, but that didn’t slow her down. Leilah ran a smart race and was within :30 of her season PR, which is great considering the conditions. We are so proud of you Leilah, keep up the hard work as a great teammate and captain!
