She has high expectations and is determined that it will not hold her back from getting personal records for this season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith every practice and every meet, I feel stronger than I felt the previous day. Don\u2019t get me wrong, I do get my sluggish days, but being pushed by my coach and teammates really helps me push myself to the next level. I just run and if I feel like I push that last mile or 200 meters, then I just do it,\u201d said Silencieux.<\/p>\n<p>Silencieux has numerous people supporting her to help push her pass her limits, such as, family, friends, and even people that have seen her run and thinks she can do better. She really enjoys when other coaches from other schools encounter her to help become a better athlete.<\/p>\n<p>Silencieux feels that playing sports helps prepare you for any profession and life in general. Cross-country and track and field has helped to show her discipline, teamwork, and time management.<\/p>\n<p>Silencieux expects her times to drop before the SWAC championship on Oct. 24 because she is pacing herself and her times are only dropping with more hard work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have high hopes in the cross-country team on ending our season and onwards,\u201d said Silencieux.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aniecia Brewster MC Contributor\/Staff Writer It is more than just a run on the trail at Jackson State University for Stherline Silencieux.
