A younger leader for the Maize high cross country team, sophomore Baylee Frost is excited for her second year of high school running.
“I am most excited to watch my girls team grow and do what I know they are able to. The few I watched work incredibly hard this Summer are going to get amazing results and I just can’t wait for when they get them.
Frost also received high praise about her leadership skills from Maize head coach Skeeter Rankins.
“As a sophomore, she is one of my team captains. Character counts, too, and she has enough of that to go around as well. She is the kind of athlete that coaches want to coach,” Rankins said.
To be as successful as she could be this season, Frost put in tons of work over this off season.
“This summer I got up every day and ran. And that’s all you can really do; you stay consistent and you put in your hours. I hope to see my results sooner rather than later, but I know everything I did for this season will show,” Frost said.
Frost has big goals for her and her team this season as well.
“This season I’d really love to break 20, the ultimate goal being 19:18. It is important to me that I make a season I’ll be proud of and something I can build off of for next year. I am also hoping to get our girls to state again, because I know many of our girls are working hard for it,” Frost said.
