Samantha Osorio, Varsity XC runner, has continuously medaled in her races this season. Inching closer and closer towards her goal of advancing from the district meet and beyond.
Q: How do you prepare yourself for a meet?
A: Before I race, I kinda just isolate myself like I’m getting in the zone. I don’t like talking to anybody or doing anything, except I stretch a whole lot. I don’t really warm up because I want to stay fresh for the actual thing.
Q: Do you workout on your own outside of practice?
A: Yes, after school I run maybe two miles or three if I have the time.
Q: What is your PR?
A: A personal record for a 5k would be 19:32, but in a race for a 5k is has been a 20:20 for this season.
Q: What do you like about cross country?
A: I like that it’s an individual kinda thing and there’s no losing cause it’s just like by yourself and every race you could improve like “oh I did really good in those hills” or “oh I kept a really good pace the entire time” or “that’s a new pr.”
Q: What is your hope for this season?
A: I hope I can make it to regionals because I kinda messed up last year, but I know i can do it, I just really got to push.
Q: What goals do you have going into the next meet?
A: I wanna get higher than 8th cause last meet I got 8th, so I’m hoping for like 5th. That’s my goal right now.
Q:Where do you see yourself in the future in cross country?
A: Regionals hopefully. This season and next year.
