A tradition with the D.C. Everest Girls Cross Country Team continued with another successful event, and what started after a workout has not extended into the Evergreens giving back to the community in a non-typical way.
Picking up trash.
¨This tradition started on a Saturday workout at the track after Homecoming. There was trash and candy everywhere from the game and parade. A few athletes started picking up pieces before the entire team joined in to lighten the load for our custodians. Eventually we turned it into a run,” shared DCE Girls Head Coach Alisha Blanchette.
On Wednesday, the Evergreen girls headed out with bags and gloves to pick up as much trash as they could in 40 minutes, a concept called ṕlogging.´
