As the cross-country season approaches, expectations are high for the team at D.C. Everest Junior High School. We had the opportunity to speak with Coach Jack Micholic about the team's top players from last season and their goals for this upcoming year. When asked about the top returning players from last season, Coach Micholic did not hesitate to name the core group of committed athletes. This group includes seniors who did an exceptional job leading the team last year and have set the standard for the upcoming season. These runners have shown their dedication to excellence by training in the off-season and even participating in other sports to improve their overall fitness. What makes these players special is not only their physical capabilities but also their leadership skills. Coach Micholic emphasized the importance of having strong leaders on the team, especially for the younger members. These seniors have set a high standard for the team and have shown the younger runners what it takes to be successful. With this core group leading the way, Coach Micholic is confident in the team's ability to compete at a high level this year. But the team's goals go beyond just individual success. As a program, their main objective is to make it to the state meet. It has been years since D.C. Everest Junior High School has qualified as a team at Sectionals, so this is a major focus for the team this year. Coach Micholic expressed excitement at the possibility of competing against other top programs in the state and believes that their current level of dedication and experience will propel them toward success. However, Coach Micholic also recognizes the importance of mental preparation and resilience in achieving success. He stressed the significance of approaching things differently this year, given the team's committed group of runners. With the help of last year's seniors, the team has learned the emphasis on mental strength and focus. Coach Micholic believes that this newfound outlook will bring a new dynamic to the program and allow them to jump straight into the competitive season. For those who follow the D.C. Everest Junior High School cross-country team, Coach Micholic has a message of excitement for the future. The team is putting in the hard work and has high expectations for themselves. With strong leaders, a dedicated core group of runners, and a new focus on mental preparation, the team is ready to take on the challenges of the upcoming season. In conclusion, the team at D.C. Everest Junior High School is gearing up for an exciting and successful cross-country season.
