Congratulations to Maena Baril for getting Athlete of the Week! Maena is a kind and athletic girl who has been doing cross country since the 6th grade! Coach Parsons has honorable and great things to say about Maena! Coach says, “Maena has come in this year and been a dynamic top contender for the girls’ squad so far.” Meana says she’s always run with her family when she was younger and was most active in Canada. Maena’s advice for younger students is “It is important to have a good mentality, and to keep pushing while running.” Cross country is very tiring when it comes to distances, therefore, Meana’s words are very factual and encouraging! Congratulations to Maena again for being Athlete of the Week!
