For 27-Time Hopi High Cross-Country Champs, Running Is Tradition

[@Elizannchan]

My husband went to school here, he wasn't on the team. He is proud though of their cross country and to be an alumni!

[@malimatt6001]

Running is sacred. My son would run from the morning until late afternoon. I would tell him remember no matter what happens in your life to remember to run my son. Lémlmtš (Thank you) Hopi Nation for your strength and dedication to the sacredness of running.

I’m an XC runner myself and this is amazing!

*My house is 200 yds from the Hopi border. Theyre good neighbors to this lil Navajo.*

im happy to go the hopi jr/sr high school and to know a good few of the cross country runners and my friends i would tell them to go to practice everyday and reminded them what they were doing and they listened and for my brothers and nephew that was on the team i would see them during the day and hug them for what they were doing because i knew they all had a good heart while they were taking part in the races.

When you are not running, someone somewhere else is... And when YOU meet them, they will win.

Not a stretch to imagine Paleo-Indians using these trails to waylay Pleistocene herbivores as their dogs chased them along the highways.
