I wish that times don't lie. My daughter has all of the varsity distance records in track for our school when she was a 7th grader, all of the varsity course records in XC for our school when she was an 8th grader and now that she's a freshman in high school, the coach put her back in freshman races. The saddest thing that the fastest varsity girl is about 1 min 42s slower than her AND she is the ONLY freshman on our team...so, she doesn't even have a team to run with. There are no sophomores either and there doesn't seem to be any female runners in modified. We barely have 5 bodies on the varsity team and yet she cannot make the team.
Go figure. We picked this sport because there aren't supposed to be any politics but clearly that's not the case.
To think any sport is free of politics is foolish
