Cross-country dilemma

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>So here's the story:</p>

<p>Last winter, during the end of the year banquet, my coach named 3 girls captains, and only 1 guy as captain, not me. This summer, I haven't really trained at all, and I've only been to a few practices. A few weeks ago, he named another guy captain (saying that he improved so much that he deserved it..wth?)</p>

<p>But the coach calls me today and asks me where I've been and that he needs me on the team, now that we are good, since I am an "experienced leader of the team." Why would he say that even though I'm not a captain? Just because I'm a senior? The reason why I haven't been going is because 1) it's not fun anymore since all my upperclassmen friends graduated 2) I'm not even Captain, 3) busy on college apps and hw. So should I go tomorrow? (last day of summer practice)</p>

<p>Is there even a slight possibility he would announce another captain? Right now there are 2 guy and 3 girl captains. But the official fall season is starting the day after tomorrow...so no right?</p>

<p>Uh…</p>

<p>After I read this, I was unable to see why you should expect to be a captain in the first place. You’ve been skipping practice because you weren’t made a captain…I don’t think that exactly qualifies you for captaincy. I’m also a XC runner, btw.</p>

<p>No, I don’t think he will name you captain- but I think you should stick with XC even if you aren’t captain. I run XC too, btw and I suck worse than **** at it.
Still go, however.</p>

Exactly. I bet you were only doing it this year to put “captain” on your apps too.</p>
