D’Entremont says that his goals for the season are “to continue to get personal records and to try to be more involved in the team.” He feels that his strengths are working well with others on the team and, his weaknesses are that he gets easily injured. D’Entremont’s plans for after high school will “most likely include the computer science field, and [he has] been thinking if [he wants] to continue [his] Cross Country career outside of high school.” He chose this sport because he felt like he needed something extra rather than just going to school, he feels that “practices have been mixed, with some being challenging, and others being easier.” D’Entremont feels that compared to freshman year he has made progress, even though it’s not as much as he had been hoping for. He stated that he is “looking forward to the indoor track season, and [he hopes] to continue improving for next year.”
