Leo and Lex showed enthusiam for Team USA that was refreshing.
When asked why he wanted to run World XC instead of indoor track, Leo said:
"Have you seen how sick the USA singlets are? How incredible an experience it is to represent your country in a race? That's exactly what it is. I want to run for Team USA someday, like on the Olympic team or a Worlds team. And I feel like a junior team is exactly how you get there. I could not be, I could not be more thrilled about this opportunity."
Lex who had been injured recently told Leo, "Even if I blow up, I know I'd be so mad at myself if I didn't give it a go."
