Everyone here has enormous potential. The real question is can you endure to the end with tremendous grit? Can you endure a minute more, pick off one more person, one more final kick? Can you out grit the person next to you? Create a Vision for yourself, stick to it, and amazing things can happen. You can overcome adversity, you are a competitor, you have what it takes to succeed. Grit is who you are. In those dark moments when it seems you have nothing left to give, you find that if you keep putting one foot in front of the other you can accomplish what all logic seems to argue against. Coach Megan (Holland Christian Middle School Cross Country)
It was so Fun for the High School Cross Country team to Help out and CHEER at the final Middle School XC meet, which was held at Holland Christian this Past Wednesday (10/10/) It was a wet and rainy afternoon but it was warm out so it really wasn't so bad.
Congrats to Coach Megan, Michael and Heidi on a Great Season !!!!

These kids are not afraid of hard work, their fav workout was actually 400s on the course.
Team shirts, Did you pay Coach Melissa→ Team-Shirts News : There were a number of positive takeaways from the Portage meet and a few who experienced disappointment. Know that we care for you and as a team (and individuals), we move forward with new focus, commitment, and determination for bringing our best to the next for four weeks.
This 2018 season is flying by and I am loving every minute of it! YOU are an incredible HCXC team and one that stands out in your maturity, ability and determination. Keep it up and thank God for your gifts daily.
