Lauren Jacobs is just a step behind her. But Meredith is doing what she can to build up (Jacobs') confidence. She realizes that cross country is not just an individual sport. |
Long distance running is 80 percent mind and willpower. In the last 12 years, I can't think of a runner who has had more commitment and dedication. She's just tenacious. |
Meredith is competitive when she runs, but she's a team player. She's a motivator and I've seen her talk to her younger teammates about how to pace themselves and things like that. |
