To the Editor:
My name is Vanessa Ray’nee Avila I am going to be a Sophomore at Fillmore High School this year. At first I had no idea what Cross Country was or what the point is for high school. Someone told me I should give Cross Country a try when they saw me playing soccer. High school came and I switched schools so that I could participate in sports. I joined Cross Country a little late and had no idea what I was capable of. I ended up making the Varsity Team my Freshman year. It was such a privilege to be on the team. We’ve made a lot of memories together as a team, going to meets and giving it our all. I have met a lot of great people along the way. It’s an honor to have such AWESOME coaches to be spending their time making us better runners. I want to let everyone know that they should give Cross Country a try because you’ll never know what you can accomplish. On July 23rd the Fillmore Flashes Cross Country Team will be going to Mammoth Lake for an 8 day trip. We will be training like the professional runners and create strong bonds between teammates. It will be a fun experience and many memories will be made. I am doing a fundraiser to raise money for this once in a lifetime experience for a trip that the Cross Country Team takes every year to Mammoth. I will be selling Pork Tamales and Lumpias. If anyone is interested in placing an order it would be greatly appreciated. Tamales are $20 a dozen n Lumpias $10 for a dozen. Please call 805 620-2375 or send donations to PO Box 672 Piru Ca 93040 I will not let my hometown down. Thank you in advance
Thank you,
Vanessa R. Avila
