| ATHLETE OF THE WEEK (click here for past winners) Sara Najafi of the Mount Carmel Cross Country team is this week's Athlete of the Week. Sara is a senior runner at MC, having competed in both Cross Country and Track for all four years at Mount Carmel. She has stepped up to a new level this year due to her off-season training and hard work. According to head coach Nathan Boyer, "Sara is a pleasure to be around. She is a thoughtful, well-mannered and dedicated young lady who I am proud to have on my team. This year, she has moved into the Top 5 on varsity and looks to have a big impact on a great girls' team. " Sara set a personal record by almost 2 minutes on the Bronco Invite course in Kit Carson Park Saturday, September 9, and on this past Saturday September 16 set a personal record of 41 seconds over last year's best time on the Mt. Carmel Invite course. Sara is also a great teammate to have around. When asked about her team, she responded that "they are all working really hard, and I am proud of everyone!" The entire Mount Carmel Cross Country team should be commended on their performances in the first two meets of the season. You can check out the results of the very successful Mount Carmel Invite here. Be sure to stop by our message boards and let Sara and the rest of the runners know what a great season they have going.
