Cross Country Regionals was held at the Max Cross Country Course at Wartburg this year. Throughout my whole experience during my first season I'd have to say it was one of my top five favorite experiences by far. I wasn't able to be on the course running, though I will be next year, but instead I was with my other teammates who participated in an all out cheering section. We painted our bodies in orange and black with various letters and words written on our bodies. I even had a knight costume that I wore while we ran around the course screaming for both the men.s and woman's teams.
It was a blast to see so many people come together to support the runners; it really showed what a true family we were. However, one of my most memorable moments was when I looked over to the Luther group and saw a guy in a norse outfit staring me down. I didn't really know why he was doing it, but then one of my teammates told me to go out into the middle and challenge him. So of course I did and it felt like one of the most epic battle scenes was about to occur. But instead when I raised my sword our whole team went charging wildly and circled around them chanting we are Wartburg. It was one of the greatest moments ever by far. Hopefully next year though I will retire the knight suit and instead be on the line waiting for that gun to go off.
