This school year has been one of change: the new grading scale, the elimination of quarters, and Mr. Pete Dammel taking over as coach for the Audubon cross country team. Many changes have been made to the team, including the time change of practices from before school to after school. Five runners returned for the boys team and another five for the girls team, with one new addition to the boys, freshman Kade Jensen. Three of the four foreign exchange students have joined the girls team.
Different people on the team look forward to different things in cross country. Senior Kaitlin Andersen said she is excited about “running a good race. It’s been a good 4 years.”
Junior Mitchell Nelsen, and the boys team captain, said, “I look forward to the competition and trying my best.”
The last meet of the year will be the district meet at Panorama on Thursday . Nelsen has mixed feelings about the season ending. Because he is in football as well as cross country, Nelsen runs in the morning. “It’s getting kind of old running by myself. But I like the meets and am looking forward to next year.”
