Do we compete with or against other teams?

How do you answer to such question?
For the xc running team, the answer is: with! This is exactly how we are competing: we are in races with other teams runners.
Are we competitive - you bet! As a matter of fact, in boy's races, the team competition is so close, every place is not just important - it is critical! This time we were just behind Cardigan and KUA and only one point ahead of Proctor Academy. We celebrate this. We also celebrate the accomplishments of our two team members, who completed the 5K race the first time in their life! 
In girl's race, Susannah Pinnell'23 got her first top 3. She is celebrating her success just as well as she is happy to make new friends!
What next? We are going to practice and get to the New England Invitational race at Proctor in best possible shape. With that said, we are celebrating a sportsmanship and the idea of Olympic movement - participation!
