The Cross Country season ends not as expected

Massimo Ciaschetti, Editor • October 27, 2023

The cross country season has come to an end, with the second round of state competition on the 24th of October.

The athletes ended up being 8th out of 18 teams competing this year.

Daxton Lear, junior in the cross country team, said, “Everybody ran 30 seconds slower than usual, it seems like it was an off day for everyone.”

Even if the second round didn’t go as planned, cross country runners are planning for next year rather than dwelling on a meet they would rather have won, and focusing on the positive.

Cliff Richardson, junior and member of the cross country team, said, “I’d say thrilling season, you never really know what’s coming next.”

A new school year has came, either you are brand new to a high school or you might be returning for another year, or if your this specific student then you might have traveled the world to be able to come to America to try high school in the American view. Massimo Ciashetti is a foreign exchange student that is from Italy. He has come to Grantsville High School all the way to Utah to try highschool in the American way and see how things are different here than it is in Italy. He decided that he wanted to try something new and come to school here in America. When he and his family went on a family vacation to America they went to Los Angeles and visited the Grand Canyon. After they got back Massimo was interested in coming to school here in America to try something different and he thought that it would be an amazing experience. Him and his family found an agency that is for foreign exchange students and they got all of his information and put him on the website for any family in America to choose him to come live with them and go to school in America. A Family in Grantsville Utah chose him to come live with them and go to school in Grantsville. I asked him, “Why did you choose to come here? There is seriously nothing here. He said, “ I was put on a website for foreign exchange students and a family here picked me and that's why I came here” He can’t choose where he gets to go. He got picked by a family and then he traveled all the way from Rome, Italy to New York to Chicago then to Salt Lake to meet his new family in America. He still has been trying to get used to everything.
