My high school cross country team showed unity in our senior season. We were picked to have a good chance at winning the state championship at the beginning of the season. We went undefeated in our conference, but came in second at our league meet. In the two weeks we had off before the regional meet, two of our best runners got injured, and we had to bring in two JV runners. It messed with our team atmosphere because we had been running with the other two for so long, and now they were gone. We came in 5th in the regional meet, and still squeaked into the state meet, however we finished in 12th. Also, in the summer we went to New Hampshire on a camping trip where we bonded as a team, and got to know each other better. It was a good experience, and we had fun remembering those experiences during the season.
