Last week we had our cross-country banquet to mark the end of the season. It was really fun. There was a slide show, prizes, and we even got Bertucci’s to cater. I was hard to say good-bye to cross-country because since freshman year, I always found the sport very bittersweet. Running is very grueling, but the team is so fun that the workouts are always worth it. We won the ISL championship last year and came in second this year.
Milton cross-country is not just about winning. Our team is successful because of the team chemistry and our fun traditions. One of our favorite traditions is Ruby Tuesday. All team members, even the coaches, are expected to wear something pink or red to practice. If someone does not wear pink, she has to wear either a sumo wrestling or a bacon suit for the warm-up loop. A couple weeks ago, our coach forgot to wear pink, so he had to run in the bacon suit, which was hilarious. The two coaches complete our team dynamic. They are so knowledgeable about the sport; yet, they know how to make practice fun. For one practice, we ran to the Ice Cream Smith and everyone on the team got ice cream. Cross-country has been such a big part of my life, and it is going to be sad in the fall months next year when I am not wearing pink every Tuesday.
Hi, and thanks for visiting us! We’re the leaders of Milton’s Orange and Blue Key (OBK) Society. OBK is the group of about 160 students who give tours to students and families visiting our campus. We work closely with the admission office to make sure you get a good sense of what it’s like to be a student at Milton. We hope that you’ll visit us in person, and until then, enjoy this “insider’s” view of the School we love.
