Cooper Greenslade is the son of Nick and Shelby Greenslade, and he is a junior at ADM High school. Greenslade has been running cross country since the eighth grade, but this year he has shown tremendous amounts of growth. After his track season was canceled Greenslade started training even harder, and his efforts are paying off now in his cross country season.
When asked about what he loved about the sport he said that he loved the team atmosphere, and he loves the opportunity to push himself and get better every day. He felt he was selected for athlete of the month because of his drive and his performances in meets. The dedication it takes to be a solid runner is not something he takes lightly, with lots of extra work outside of practice and even diet changes. Greenslade also remarked that being recognized for athlete of the month,
“feels good, and it is another thing to keep me motivated.”
Cooper Greenslade is grateful for the opportunity to run and compete with his team, and he will continue to strive for greatness for the rest of this cross country season.
