Q: How do you handle school with cross country?
A: I work out in the morning and have all afternoon to do homework, study or go to other classes.
Q: Do your eating habits change be¬tween seasons?
A: My eating habits don’t really change. I eat just about everything.
Q: What is your favorite memory so far?
A: My favorite memory so far is when we were at camp and all the team jumped into Lake Tahoe after our first race.
Q: What has been your most fun race this year?
A: It was definitely our first overnight race. We went to Fresno in a charter bus and had a lot of fun together. We raced the next day and it was fun the whole time- except the actual race part.
Q: When and where do you workout?
A: I workout Monday-Friday at either Land Park or Curtis Park at 7 a.m. On Sat¬urday and Sunday we meet up in Auburn to run over some hills.
Q: How much running do you do a week?
A: We do three medium runs a week with two interval days and one race day, fol¬lowed by a very long run. On average, the guys do about 60 miles a week.
Q: How is the team this year?
A: The team this year is looking super strong. If everybody gets healthy and stays uninjured, the girls’ team has a chance to win Nor Cal and the guys’ team has a chance to get top six in Nor Cal.
Q: How many people are on the team? How many coaches do you have?
A: We have a pretty small team compared to other JC colleges. We only have seven girls and eight guys that race with one main coach and two assistant coaches.
Q: How long have you been training?
A: We were working out kind of as a team over the summer, but started full time a week before school started and have been ever since.
Q: What is the competition like in our conference, compared to City College?
A: Our conference has pretty good teams this year, but we’re just as good so it’s going to be a close finish between the team scores.
