[quote=Anonymous]I don't have experience at Blair, but I was your daughter: I joined cross-country at the start of my freshman year, with zero running experience and a real aversion to organized sports. I agonized for weeks and very nearly didn't show up the first day. I'm not exaggerating when I say that deciding to go changed my life. After a miserable, outsider middle school experience, those XC kids took me in without question, including the upperclassmen. I felt I belonged somewhere immediately. I ran XC and track all four years, and was a walk-on at a Div 1 school in college. I also still run multiple times a week today (mid-40s). But most of all, my whole mindset about what my high-school experience could be turned around within the first couple weeks of XC practice. Best wishes for your kid! My children are still a few years from high school, but I sure hope they will run. [/quote]
