How has your experience been at Delbarton so far?

It’s been good. The workload is definitely a lot more than my previous school, and through all the extra studying, I’m learning more than I was at my previous school. There are also more opportunities for me to join clubs and try new activities. The teachers are very helpful. They’re always there for the students and care about them, which is a big difference from other schools. Regarding cross-country and track, the coaches at Delbarton are very experienced and knowledgeable. They definitely want the runners to improve regardless of innate ability, which is great.
