Athlete of the Week - Dixie

With some strong performances all around, it was difficult to pick the Athletes of the Week from the Dixie All-Comers.  But the runs by Taylor Abel and Megan Finch have risen to the top.
Taylor paced the boys to a win at Dixie by finishing 5th overall in a time of 17:35 our 10th fastest time on this course.  Taylor, a Junior, is in his first year with XC and is making an immediate impact.  Taylor likes his marshmallows roasted to a golden brown and his waffles burnt to a crisp.  Among his many dislikes are purple wildflowers.
Megan, one of our few Freshman girls, is having a great first season of XC.  She was our 2nd finisher at this race and is really starting to run well.  She has many great years of cross in front of her and we look forward to her development and contributions to the team for years to come.  Megan likes everything her brother hates and hates everything he likes - kind of weird!
