Cross-country coaches highlight San Miguel School athletes’ commitment to integrity and determination
Cross-country running at San Miguel School on Georgia Avenue in Northwest Washington, D.C. fosters the physical and mental well-being of students, teaching them discipline and motivating them to prepare for life with integrity and determination, say coaches Grace Babcock and Gustavo Sánchez.
The school’s cross-country team is currently participating in the Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) season, organized by The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington, where they compete against other schools and parishes.
“Running cross-country not only keeps our students physically fit but also sharpens their minds. To run effectively and commit to endurance racing, you need discipline, determination, and self-confidence,” Babcock explained.
