John Murray

Overall feelings about the race: went how i expected it to go. i new i was not going to be top ten but it was just a great lerning experience for me so i just ran my race that i have all season abd ran the last 800 hard

Best part of the race: i thought the end of my race was good with 400 to go i put the hammer down and picked off 2 guys.
The FLCC Experience: it was an unbelievible experiance i learnd a ton for what it take to be the best in the nation from all the other kids. i am only a jr so i hope to come back next year and do better

Personal note: first my family, they help me out so much with everything esspecialy my mother helping me get the best nutrician and make sure i am staying healthy and my father who has guided me to get the best out of my running ability as my coach without there love and support i would not be where i am today. and to my friends who have supported me the hole way i give a shout out to chris, tobin, beals, ace the tomson brothers, and last but not least my XC coach Jim smith who has tought me so much about how to race and be a smart racer.
