Sophomore Arthur Cassidy has been running since he started cross country his freshman year. In the fall of freshman year Arthur decided to try cross country. I thought I would be good at it and I didn’t play a fall sport. Also, my mom ran in college.”
"I find it rewarding to get good exercise and compete at the same time" Cassidy said.
Earlier in the year Arthur ran for the DHS Boys Cross country team. Arthur placed 5th for the team in the Class L states and Darien took first for the whole competition.
This winter Arthur decided to take a short break from track during the indoor track season, but he stayed in shape by skiing. Now Arthur is excited for a successful outdoor track season. This year Arthur is planning on running the 1 mile and 2 mile races. Arthur’s goal is to run his mile in 4:45. His personal record right now is 4:56.
Make sure to check back on the sports blog to read about Arthur and the rest of the Boys Outdoor Track team this season. The team’s next home competition is on April 4th against Harding and Staples at 4:00.
