Question & Answer
Warrior: How long have you been running?
Anna Lagattuta: This is my first year running cross-country.
W: What made you decide to run cross country?
AL: I’ve played soccer my whole life, since I was really little. In high school I wanted to try a new sport. I heard a lot about cross country. Also, being a soccer player, I knew I could run!
W: How do you do in cross country meets?
AL: We’ve only had three meets so far. At our last meet I made 7th place over all and it was a two mile course. We haven’t gotten exact times yet but it was close to seven minutes a mile, which is my average time per mile.
W: Is it difficult being a younger member of the team?
AL: At first it was really hard being a young member becuase I knew no one and felt like such a little underdog. At this point it doesnt bother me too much and I really love the team.
W: Who helps you practice the most?
AL: I think my group helps me practice the most and work really hard every day. When I started off, I was in the lowest group and wasn’t really being challenged. Now my group makes me keep going even when I feel like my legs are going to fall off.
