Congratulations to Isaiah Ramos, a sophomore on the varsity cross country team, for being named the Athlete of the Week for Oct. 12th. Coach Lieber shared that Isaiah Ramos ran two races this week, the Dave Lightle and the Anna Invitational. What made his week special, though, was that I asked him to pace a teammate, Jaxson Artz who has been chasing a PR since his freshman year. Isaiah took that responsibility seriously, motivating Jaxson Artz throughout the race and encouraging him to stay with him. Not only did Isaiah help Jaxson earn that long awaited PR, but he also set a PR of his own!

What makes Isaiah special is that he understands being a great teammate means everyone deserves support. It means helping the people around you become better, celebrating their successes, and being willing to put someone else’s goals alongside your own. Isaiah has consistently shown that kind of leadership this season. He encourages his teammates, pushes them to be their best, and leads by example. His effort this week was a perfect example of what Tipp XC is all about.

Congratulations Isaiah and Jaxson!!! Keep up the GREAT work!!!
