Class of 2010 Varsity Cross Country 2006-2009 Member of 2008 Co-Champ team Member of 2009 Undefeated League Champ Team First Team All League 2007-2009 State Qualifier 2008 Varsity cross country has been one of the greatest and most memorable experiences of my life. I will always remember all the laughs I have shared with the team and all the lessons I have learned. Cross country teaches you what no teacher or book can. Running will teach you about yourself, and how to deal with victories and setbacks. Cross country spaghetti dinners, early morning breakfasts at Bill’s, super secret warm up runs, mud runs, Themed Thursdays, freezie-pop-Friday, bus rides, good dog bones, and of course…races are all awesome and all one of a kind. No other varsity team at Newfane has as much fun as we do. We have one of the greatest teams; not only well ranking, but a warm, welcoming group of student-athletes. The Newfane XC team is very lucky to have a knowledgeable and a talented coach as well. Coach Heitzenrater knows how to make running fun. You will look forward to practice every day. I will miss everything about the Newfane XC team. Thank you to the best team and coach for making running so much fun. Best of luck to my returning teammates and all future runners!
