Race Across the Finish by: Ray Barbosa

Cross Country is a competitive sport that takes the ability to stay at a
pace for long period of time for a great distance. Anthony Pequeno is the
top dog for the Caprock Cross Country team. He keeps himself at a fast pace and
maintains it. Not very many people can maintain that pace and keep it
like that for three miles.
Cross country is run on hills, flat surfaces, and tall grass. The
grass can affect the runner because it makes the runner raise their legs
higher to keep at the same speed. The girls cross country runners run at
least 2 to 2.5 miles. They usually finish in about fifteen to
seventeen minutes. The guys finish in at least fifteen to twenty-five
minute in a three mile race.
I guess you can say that cross country is a hard sport because you have
to be in top condition. Some people are just great at this sport, and
maybe people who have read this might join it next year.
