San Marcos Cross Country heads to district meet

The San Marcos cross country team feels like a team again.

In the wake of COVID-19, many runners weren’t able to attend practice due to circumstances caused by the pandemic. But now with a full roster at practice again, the team seems to have built a bond.

“I think in the summer, we really built that foundation,” assistant coach Marissa Mendoza said. “They say the way you work in the offseason is the way your season's gonna go, and it's definitely shown. Our numbers were crazy big during the summer. Everyone showed up. They were voluntary, but they were there every day in the summer working just as hard as they are now.”
