@Siemers_XC_TF Awesome. 1st XC season for Maddox too. Seems to be working

Dwight Bennett thought he was a sprinter. Topped out at 54 in the 400. I said the thing every 400 kid dreads:
“Have you thought about cross country?”
He bought in.
Two seasons later, he’s a 1:57 guy going to Regionals.
At District, he had a PR of 2:01. Seeded 12th. Only 8 made finals. He barely made it—less than a second from being done.
I told him: “Your goal lives on the other side of pain. Not around it. Through it.”
In the final? 1:59.91. 4th place. Last spot to Area. Won it by 0.41.
Last week at Area, we dialed in foot speed + strategy. I said, “When the pain hits—go toward it.”
He ran 1:57.79. Finished 3rd.
Qualified for Regionals.
After the race he yelled, “I did it! I DID IT!”
We hugged like he’d won the Olympic Trials.
Honestly? It felt like he had.
This is why I coach.
Not for medals.
But for that moment when a kid realizes—he’s not who he used to be.
Let’s go, Dwight. 👊
