It’s been a good season for the Plant City High School cross country team, which is set to compete in tomorrow’s regional meet at North Port. Sophomore Hannah Stowe, in her first season with the team, has been running well lately — most recently posting a seventh-place finish at last week’s district meet, leading the Lady Raiders.
How was Saturday’s race?
It was pretty long, but it was good. I enjoyed it.
What’s been your favorite race, so far?
Probably the county meet. I got a 20:45, so I was really excited about that.
What’s been your favorite course, so far?
The second time at the county meet, I liked that one. It was really easy — it was really fast.
Do you play any other sports?
No, sir. This is all.
When did you start running?
Mid-summer. I just started running — not very far — and I realized I really liked it. So, my friend, Abby Miller, told me I should run (with PCHS), so I did.
What are some of your other hobbies?
I play the piano, but that’s about it. I’ve been playing for six years. I’m OK. My favorite thing to play is, probably, classical music.
Do you have a favorite running spot?
Not really. Just running here with my team — the normal path that I usually do.
What are some of your favorite movies?
I’m a fan of Disney movies. Lion King, Tangled — I like those.
What’s your favorite subject in school?
History, probably. I don’t know, just looking back at all the people who did things to get America to where it is today. I like American history.
If you could have any superpower for a day, what would it be?
Probably to fly. I would just want to fly around America and see everything.
If you could be either rich or famous, what would it be?
Rich, because celebrities don’t have any privacy. They can’t do anything without it being spread everywhere.
If you could have lunch with anybody, and have a conversation with them, who would it be and what would you talk about?
Billy Graham. I’d talk to him about how incredible it’s been to be where he is right now, and how many lives he’s saved.
Who’s your favorite athlete?
Lolo Jones. I really like Lolo Jones.
Does that mean you’re considering joining the track team, too?
I’m planning on running track. My coach said I should run 800s, but I don’t know. I don’t really want to run the really long ones, you know? I already run plenty!
