FuryXC: The Road to State

By Camryn Davis

On Friday November 14th, Fury's very own cross country team is heading to Aiken, SC for their state race.  Fury's season started in August with a home race. The team has since had many races throughout this season filled with PRs, wins, and fun team memories.

As the season comes to a close, athletes are putting in the work to prepare for state qualifiers.

 ¨[We are] continuing to do what we've been doing, make sure everyone recovers and get healthy and make sure I sleep and stay healthy, and get everyone to the starting line healthy,¨ head coach Quinn Wilson said. 

Sophomore athlete Derek Ashworth is preparing for state by making sure to control what he can, and not worry about the rest. The championship season coming up ahead will be exciting and a lot of hard work.

Though, looking back at the season, many friendships and memories have been made.

Wilson's favorite memory of the season was region.

¨This was my first region championship for the boys and it's a memory I will never forget. It was also the most athletes I´ve ever had in all-region,¨ Wilson said. 

  Ashworth's most memorable moment from this season was from when he won the Fury Canned Food drive. 

¨Crossing that finish line and realizing I won, and then remembering that it was at home made it much more special,¨ Ashworth said.

 Fury had many athletes PR and place during that race including Camryn Davis (3rd place) and Harrison Rhodes (with a PR of 17:59). 

 Being such a large team with boys and girls, and spending so much time together between practice everyday and then races on Saturdays and most continue on to do track with each other, these athletes have built so many strong friendships and have learned so much from each other, Ashworth was a team captain for cross country and he said he hopes his team carries with them the fact that 

¨Sometimes things mean more than what you see, you have to fully understand and see things from the others point of view in order to really know what is happening,¨ Ashworth said.

 ¨I hope they carry with them ´hard work pays off´ and ´if you commit to something and care about something it will happen,¨ Wilson said. 

¨Continue to work hard and you can do the best you can do.¨

Athletes learn from coaches, but coaches also learn from their athletes. 

Wilson has been a coach for cross country for many years but said something about this year was special, he's learned more from his athletes and he's been held to a higher standard because his athletes expect more from themselves so he has to be better so they can be better. 

¨He encouraged me throughout the season he told me to keep going and that I could do it and during a race he saw me struggling after a race and he listened to me and talked to me about the race and told me that it was going to get better throughout the season and I'm going to get better, he's been so supportive and encouraging,¨ sophomore Valentina Garcia said.

Fury's cross country athletes and coaches have had a great season so far and better to come, so much work has been put in and on the athletes side and the coaches, we can't wait to see what the future holds for this team.
