POLAND – Without participating in a single practice due to soccer commitments, Poland Central School District senior Christopher Gauthier won the first three cross country races he ever competed in.
After starting to run as a hobby and then being encouraged to join the team by Poland cross country coach Sandy Hitt, Gauthier decided to attempt cross country as a dual sport athlete this fall when he could fit it in around soccer.
“I figured it’s my senior year, I can try and see how I do,” he said. “And I did pretty good.”
The cross country season started on Oct. 3, but because he chose soccer as his primary sport, Gauthier, 17, wasn’t able to join the team until Oct. 24. In the span of about a week, he ran – and won – all three of his standard races for the season and competed in multiple soccer games.
