On the Horizon, the USA Cross Country Championships
So the USA Cross Country Championships is just about a week away and the entry list is looking pretty good! There are only 6 spots to make the USA World Cross team and 5 spots to make the NACAC team. Both of them are US teams, and I would be honored to make either of them. So the goal is to be top 10 and secure a spot on either team. I know its going to take a lot of grit and grind to make anyone of those teams, but I've been thinking about this race for a year. Since last year, this has been all I've been thinking about and all I want, among a few other achievements in running. The obvious would be to: make a US team, make the Olympic Trials, run sub 14 in the 5k, or make a US National Championships race. Anyone of those things and I may feel content with all the years of running I've done.

Hey Jess,
Nice 3k PR! I'm so impressed by how far you've come along. I will be watching the USATF XC results with great hope and praying for your success.
