For the boys, it was tough. There are three quality athletes, each with different leadership abilities and outstanding values. It was difficult to choose from among them even after talking to each individually. So, in my opinion, the tiebreaker came down to speed. Austin is our anchor. He will lead the team to victory whereas the other two and any other varsity runners will, hopefully, not be far behind. After all, they will need to be fast if they want to be champions.
Congratulations to Micaela and Austin as the Captains for 2012! For all of the team members, there is still a full season ahead of us and several more opportunities to walk away with a season-ending award. I hope to see continued impressive competition as we begin to race other teams. Go get 'em Tigers!
