Sacred Heart’s cross country team has a stand out senior runner in Bethany Campa. When Vype Magazine asked Campa what goals are set for this season, Campa responded, “One of my biggest goals is to go back to state and win state as a team again!”
For Campa the last two years of cross country have been extra special because Campa’s little sister also runs for Sacred Heart. Campa always enjoys spending time with teammates and bonding time over the years. Another aspect of cross country Campa enjoys is the opportunity to improve time at each and every race.
Campa has given off season credit to Distance Inc and coach Huey Counts. “I’ve noticed a big change in my running effort and time when I do train with him!” With all this extra training, Campa and teammates hope to see a repeat of last season. “Last year my team and I were able to win state as a team.”
During Campa’s freshman and sophomore season, the team fell just short of winning and placed third at state. Junior year for Campa was by far the best season. Finishing the season off at state with a time of 22.04.
Not only does Campa run cross country, but Campa also is a cheerleader, on the dance team, plays basketball, and competes in track and field. Although Campa is currently undecided on which college to attend or if running will be in the future college scene, Campa wants to study radiology to become a Radiology Technician.
