Charger cross country squads always have high expecations

The Boerne Champion cross country program has one of the top runners in the nation in Elizabeth Leachman.

The sophomore has turned in some impressive times in Champion’s first few meets of the year and Chargers cross country coach Jonathan Tate said the sky is the limit for Leachman but only has one request of her.

“I think she can win state and beyond that, I think she can compete for a top 5 to 10 spot at Nike Nationals. In order to do those things we just need her to manage the expectations that come with being a high-profile athlete,” he said. “She is in a very unique space. The one thing I asked her is to enjoy it. She needs to make sure to have fun.”
