LAKE PLACID –– It may have been her first year of running cross country, but Erica Resendiz made quite an impression. The Lake Placid junior, who has an effortless style that belies how fast she is, had five first-place finishes during the season, including a school-record time of 21 minutes, 28 seconds in a meet at LaBelle. Resendiz, who is also an outstanding player on the Green Dragon soccer team, showed great consistency in her first year of varsity competition. "Erica is a natural runner," said Lake Placid cross country coach Dennis Berard. "She is very competitive and has the ability to run fast.

SEBRING –– Proving that experience isn't everything, Sebring's Connor Bauer ran away from the competition during the recent high school cross country season. Bauer showed that his outstanding freshman year, which included qualifying for regionals, was no fluke, as the fleet-footed sophomore cruised through the district and regional meets to qualify for the state meet in Dade City. Bauer capped his remarkable season by finishing 25th at the Class 2A state meet with a time of 16 minutes, 52 seconds, which was his second-fastest time of the season. For his ability and accomplishments, Bauer has been selected Highlands Today's 2007 All-Heartland Boys Cross Country Runner of the Year. "Connor is a natural runner with a lot of ability and combines that with an outstanding work ethic," said Sebring veteran coach Jeff Shoemaker. "He is a dedicated athlete, very coachable and always gives his best effort. ...more
