Senior captains Lydia and Sarah have run cross country all four years at <strong>Loomis</strong><br />
<strong>Chaffee</strong>, and their progress during that time has been staggering. As hard-‐working,<br />
earnest freshmen, Lydia was ranked 18th on the team, and Sarah qualified to run at<br />
New Englands (only 19 from each school can run) because she had her racing spikes<br />
with her when two of her faster teammates fell ill on race day. Through hard<br />
training, diligent summer preparation, patience, and perseverance, these two young<br />
women improved steadily and dramatically. This year they were among the four top<br />
runners on the team, any of whom could (and did) run No. 1 for the team on any<br />
given day. As a freshman, Lydia's best time on the home course (5 kilometers) was<br />
25:10. This year, she ran 20:09 at home. Sarah's best home time her freshman year<br />
was 25:26, and this year she ran 20:35. <strong>The</strong> fact that both Lydia and Sarah grew into<br />
team leaders is not as surprising as their huge drops in race times. Lydia always has<br />
been a hard worker and a serious cross country team member. She always has led<br />
by example in her preparation; her gutsy, all-‐out racing; and her dedication to the<br />
team. Sarah, too, has worked hard, set goals, and strived to reaching them since her<br />
very first day on the team. Conscientious and fully committed to the team, Sarah also<br />
is a sweet mother duck to her teammates. <strong>The</strong> team's wonderful tone and ability to<br />
over-‐achieve is thanks in very large part to the leadership and sweat equity of<br />
captain Lydia Heinrichs and captain Sarah Patrick.
