A Comeback Story from Coach Chris Bennett - Nike Cross Series 2021

A comeback story - we love them, don't we?

A comeback from an injury, missed opportunity, heartbreak or a lost season. We love them all.

Maybe that's why we all looked forward to this 2021 cross season so much. Because this was the comeback season after all.

The comeback from 2020.

We came back to the starting line for the excitement and nerves that live there.

We came back to run into controlled chaos.

We came back for early race pushing and the mid-race pushes.

We came back for the mud and the hills and more mud and more hills.

We came back because we wanted to finish our races before our seasons were finished.

We came back for the comeback of the team huddle, the high five, the handshakes, the hugs.

We came back for coach because coach came back for us.

We came back for the cheers.

We came back to cheer.

We came back together because we needed each other.

And we came back in 2021 because 2020 was not the finish line.

2020 was just a starting line in disguise. The starting line of this 2021 XC season.

The start of a comeback story and we love those kinds of stories.
