-Jackie Bradley, Sophomore

“Salvador Perez because he’s a solid hitter.”

Cross country leads to active body and mindBy Carson GoinsSome people think running is

boring, but not cross country runners. They participate in this sport for the thrill and competi-tion.

In discussing what goes on in their minds with the Rock Port High School Cross Country team members, I learned that many runners have a close re-lationship with God. While at a Cross Country meet, a runner told me that there is no one to talk to while you’re running, but there is always God. If you’re really good at this dif-ficult sport, you start thinking about how you got this ability.

What do other people think about when running? Rock Port teachers who were also cross county runners when they were students shared a variety of re-sponses. Sixth grade teacher Donald Parsons said, “I thought about how much I hated it and hoped it was over.” Rachel Jenkins, middle school science teacher, said her thoughts were along the lines of, “How far to

the finish?” and “Where is the next hill?” Fourth grade teacher Stacy Walker said she thought about where the finish line was.

Now the students of Rock Port who participate in Cross Coun-try think a little differently. Ju-nior Ty Jones said he thinks, “How much it hurts and how I need to go faster.”

Freshman Evan Elam thinks about “finishing strong,” while senior Trevor Holmes said he thinks about being almost done.

Girls’ runners have similar thoughts: “I think about how I am doing in the race and my position,” junior Jade Lemmon said. Hannah Mace, sopho-more, said that she sings songs while she is running.

No matter what these athletes think about during their races, they all think about sectionals, which is November 1 at West Platte. Good luck to these ath-letes who have dedicated physi-cal and mental effort to repre-sent the Rock Port Blue Jays winning tradition.

Nutritional Building Blocks Fiber is Important!

One of the goals of the new Healthy Kids Act is to increase the amount of fiber in

kids’ diets. Fiber is the part of a plant your body can’t absorb. Insoluble fiber (from wheat,

vegetables, nuts, etc.) helps move materials through the digestive system keeping it healthy. Soluble fiber (from oats, beans, and some fruits) helps lower cholesterol and slows the absorption of sugar into the blood. So fiber is important in fighting both heart disease and diabetes. It is also a key component in weight loss, making you feel fuller with fewer calories.
