>> Oh no.
>> Yeah, It is for me.
I made the one-mile test in 6:30 seconds with the help of my teammates, obviously No, let me tell you.
It was all of them.
>> We were pushing them.
When one would get tired, we hand heroff to someone else and they push her.
>> It was a lot but it was fun as well.
That was like my personal highlight.
>> And then going off what you were saying about that.
>> Seeing each and every person on our team push one another and fight for one another.
I've never seen that done at the two previous schools I was at.

>> You have to go with your gut.
You cannot be afraid to fail.

Is your way of telling your sister you care about them.
That was definitely instilled in me by Coach Jack.
>> What will you miss most about the this team?
>> Everyone.
The different personalities, how we get along with each other.
>> Like the random like laughs and conversations we have, like... >> I feel like the whole experience from when we ran the mile and then ran three miles, then the away trips the running for miles.
Plane rides, can't get people to shut up and we have turbulence and cam is walking up and down the aisle.
I'm like Cam, sit down, dude.
>> I feel like all of it I'm going to miss.
