Comment: “It’s exciting to now be a part of the great cross country tradition at St. Joe’s. To observe and be involved with the boys and their quest to balance athletics, academics and other interests is inspiring. They strive to maximize their time at St. Joe’s and the pull of so many opportunities. It all helps them evolve towards what makes each one of them unique. The cross country alumni support is tremendous and like no other in the area. It’s motivating to have them come back for summer runs with the boys and support the team at key meets. It’s special!”
