RBIs, rushing yards, shots on goal, win-loss records. Numbers help to tell the story of a game or competition or season, they seek to quantify the drama, to measure the beauty that captiVates us when we play or watch sports. When it comes to drama and beauty, cross country deliVers. If you’ve ever seen a close, grueling finish between mud-splattered runners, you’ve witnessed cross country’s suspense. And if you’Ve obserVed the poetic cadence of a harrier traVersing a wooded trail, you’Ve seen some of the beauty of this sport. Cross country also has its share of stats: split times, PRs, pace per mile, top seVen. With that in mind, I offer you the story of the 2012 Loomis Chaffee girls cross country season in numbers that at least hint at the dramatic and beautiful gifts these athletes helped create every day: 8 and 14: Finishing positions of Caitlin Farrell and Michaela Colangelo at the Founders League Championship, earning All-Founders honors. 4: Number of years we haVe been fortunate enough to haVe seniors Shannon McCabe and Taylor Page on the team as deVoted, loyal, and eVer-striVing members. They will always be part of the LCXC family. 921: InterVal, threshold, and other workout times that intrepid manager Diomand Henry recorded over the course of the season. 4 minutes and 43 seconds: Amount of the time Victoria Smith dropped from her 5k best this year oVer last year. That’s more than a minute and a half PER MILE. 21: ImpressiVely small number of minutes that it took Margo Rybeck to run the Deerfield course — her season best. Therein lies much promise for this sophomore’s years ahead. 5.5: Average number of days per week that Kara Danielczuk ran oVer the summer, at 4 to 5 miles a pop and up to 8 miles. This excellent training helped Kara launch herself into the varsity seven this fall. 18th to 7th: Lauren Dube’s improVement in team position from the first meet — her first cross country race ever — to the last meet of the season, when she ran on the varsity squad at New Englands. 2: Number of years still to come in Gabby Roncone’s LCXC career, years we anticipate eagerly after this talented, gutsy runner’s season was cut short this fall by injury. 400: Length (in meters) of the interVals that Ciera Hunter ran, alone, in the NoVember cold and under the football lights during the last week of practice. Dedicated Ciera wanted to make sure she did the workout eVen though T8 Writing Workshop and the early darkness of Daylight SaVings Time oVerlapped. 25: Number of ab-busting scissor exercises that loyal LCXC senior Meaghan Reid challenged herself and her teammates to do just right during eVery core-building session — symbolic of Meaghan’s dedication to the cause. 0: Races that Shannon Deveney wanted to miss, eVen though a lingering injury demanded otherwise. Also the number of races we hope Shannon will miss next year when she comes back strong and, as always, eager to run. 29: Girls who experienced team in its Very best sense because of the leadership of senior captains Katie Kent and Hadley Merrill, who brought good will, joy, sisterly love, and uncommon perceptiVeness eVery single day of the season. Thank you, Katie and Hadley. 3:54 and 1:45: PRs achieVed in NoVember by assistant coaches Dennis Robbins (in his second marathon) and Anita RackoVan (in the Philadelphia Half Marathon). Dennis and Anita understand first-hand what the runners they coach must endure and oVercome on their journeys to athletic achieVement. This understanding is clear in their impressiVe new PRs, but eVen more so in their daily interactions with the girls on this team. With the best interests of the girls and the team as a whole always at the front of their minds, Dennis and Anita made a huge difference in the liVes of these girls at eVery practice and eVery meet, and I thank them sincerely for all that they do as coaches and as my sounding boards, counselors, and friends. Awards Most Valuable Runner Caitlin Farrell Caitlin finished every race as our No. 1 runner this fall, and she placed eighth at the Founders League Championship to earn All-Founders League honors. Until this year, Caitlin raced under the tutelage of older, more experienced teammates. With her mentors off at college, Caitlin found herself at the front of the pack this fall, and she grew into the role wonderfully. Coachable, earnest, talented, and tough as nails, Caitlin turned in an impressiVe series of races in the second half of the season, concluding with her fastest 5k of the season at New Englands with a time of 19:44 on the 3-mile course at Northwest Park. Her best all-around race — and a real fan-pleaser — was Caitlin’s come-from-behind win in the Parents Weekend home meet against Greenwich. She ran a smart first mile, a relentless second mile, and a take-no-prisoners final mile, passing three Greenwich speedsters and outkicking the final front-runner in the last 200 meters. One spectator told me, in a scratchy Voice, after the meet that she had gone hoarse from cheering on Caitlin in that exciting final straightaway. We are looking forward to more excitement from Caitlin next year. Most Improved Victoria Smith Vic was new to cross country last year, and she improVed rapidly, a hallmark of many a cross country runner’s rookie season. As she gained experience and fitness, her times got faster. But this year, in her second year on the team, Victoria continued to chop minutes off of her times, and we couldn’t be happier for her. Her 5k PR improVed from 27:17 last year to 22:34 by the end of this season. That’s an improVement of 4:43, which is more than a minute and a half per mile. It’s no accident that Victoria has continued to improVe. She is a true student of the sport, heeding the adVice of her coaches, training assiduously oVer the summer, working on her form, and asking astute questions about the physical and mental aspects of racing before putting the answers into action. With each improVement in her performance, she gained confidence and humility. And her honest assessments of her rare so-so races were as sincere as her delight in the good ones. Victoria’s contagious enthusiasm for the challenges of cross country exemplify the Loomis Chaffee’s ideal of striVing to be one’s best self and working toward the common good. Coaches’ Award Taylor Page Taylor has put Loomis Chaffee cross country first in her heart for four years, and she has neVer waVered. Always willing to giVe her best, always positiVe but realistic, always eager to welcome and mentor her younger teammates, always loyal to LCXC, Taylor has not only been a stalwart, ever-improVing runner on the team, but also has serVed as the team’s de facto historian for four years — no humorous anecdote (especially about us coaches) escapes her voluminous memory.

    Loomis Chaffee Log SEPTEMBER 26, 2016 Issue 101, No. 1 thelclog.org M I N D OVER MATTER Graphic by Anh Nguyen ’17 How should we navigate this year’s vague all-school theme, “MIND OVER MATTER?” very year, the all-school theme encourages students to stretch the “Loomis bubble” and think critically about day to day oc- currences — from the environmental implications of fl ipping a light switch to the media we consume on Twitter. This year, the schoolE theme was fi rst alluded to in our puzzling all-school read, The Little Prince. During the fi rst weeks of school, the administration has presented the theme in a narrow sense, raising eyebrows. Is it really that effective to have the junior class do yoga in the quad? Are the talks on de-stressing stressful? Is mindfulness limited to stress relief? Given the emphasis on alleviating the stress we cannot eliminate, it is too easy to dismiss the mantra rather than seriously investing in it.
