“My proudest achievement is running 1,000 miles for cross country. I started in December when it’s tough to get out there and run but it’s the hardest thing we do for the things we love. I did it because the cross country team has provided me with my favorite parts of high school, and I view it as if I’m going to spend my whole fall with them I’m going to give it everything I have. We won the FVA and all five of us made conference teams. Nothing feels better than getting rewarded for something you tried your hardest at.” — Drew Gentile, class of 2023
