10 Questions
with Cameron Stockton
Cameron Stockton is a senior
at Lake Forest High
School and runs crosscountry.
How did you get
started running crosscountry?
I started freshman year. I
joined the team with a few
friends. My friends talked
my parents into signing
me up. I originally didn’t
want to join the team, but
now that I joined I’m very
happy about it.
and wants to see its stands
packed with community
supporters. In order to
make Community Day special,
LFC is excited to provide
opportunities for both
youth and families to enjoy.
Youth players can also
gain free admission by creating
a sign to support the
Foresters on the field. Other
activities include photos
with Boomer the mascot,
participation in a halftime
contest, and as a new addition
this year all faculty

win some great Forester

Why do you love the
sport?
It’s a great team. The
dynamic of the team is
great. Everyone is just super
close and the races are
hard and everyone kind
of struggles through it together.
What is the most
challenging part of
running long distance?
Honestly, it is probably
the mental side of things.
It’s tough to keep going
for three miles, especially
in different weather. If it’s
rainy and all muddy, or if
it’s super hot it’s hard.
What are your
personal goals for this
season?
I would love to beat my
[personal record] this year.
That’s always a goal with
most people and for senior
year that’s a good goal to
have.
What is your personal
record right now?
19 minutes, 30 seconds
for 3 miles.
If you could travel
anywhere in the
world, where would
you go?
I’m a big car guy, I’ve
always wanted to go to
Germany and drive on the
Autobahn and see the Nürburgring.
What are your two
dream cars?
I’d love to have an
Subaru STI and definitely
a Porshce Gt3. One is a
pretty obtainable dream
car and one is pretty expensive,
but hopefully one
day.
If you could try
another sport, what
photo submitted
would you want to
play?
Golf. Golf is one of
those good business sports.
You’ll be on the
varsity swim team
this winter, what are
your favorite races to
swim?
Either the 50-yard free
or the 100 free.
What is the best part
about being an athlete
at Lake Forest?
Definitely just having
somewhere to go after
school and having a team
that you’re familiar with.
It’s nice, especially as a
younger kid, like freshman
and sophomore year, to
have that team dynamic of
people you know.
