Payson Cross Country Freshman Qualify for State

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

For the first time in 50 years a Payson freshman qualifies for Cross Country State! Freshman Jordan Bailey and Junior Kai Schulze represented Payson in state on October 19. “It was amazing,” said Junior Kai Shulze. “I was very nervous. There were many schools there and we weren’t on our own turf,” said Senior Makeisha White. “It was fun, we need more girls on the team though!” said Sophomore Sami Smith. Overall the team took 5th place. “We’ll do better as a team next year,” said Shulze. “A lot of excitement has been generated this year,” said Mr. Peck. We might owe this success to “black socks,” said Clayton Skousen. Clayton shared with me that wearing black socks during a competition has been a team tradition for years. “We wear them to symbolize that we are mourning for our competition,” said Skousen. Congratulate all the cross country team members because they deserve it!
