Shewit Weldensae Continues to excel Shewit Weldensae has been excelling in running and academics in the past year! This past XC season has been very successful for Shewit and her team. The team came in 1st at the conference and regional meet. Her team also won the State Championships for the second year in a row; putting the Green Hope girls XC team the best in the history of NC. After States, they competed in Nike Cross Country regional, their region being the Southeast Region (Delaware down to Florida). They came in 2nd place which qualified them for Nike Cross Country Nationals in Portland, Oregon. This was the first time in the history of North Carolina that a girl’s team has qualified for Nationals. Nike sponsored Shewit and six other girls on her team to fly to Oregon.  Their hotel and food paid along with Nike running gear. In Oregon they met thirteen professional Nike athletes. The girls team finished 10th in the nation.  Shewit registered personal record time for the season at 19:2. She improved over a minute from last year. Shewit is currently doing winter track. In March, she will be going to New York for Track Nationals. Shewit has been working hard with both school work and her running this past year. Shewit has managed to maintain a 3.8 GPA in her academics too. In the pictures is Shewit with her team in one and leaving the pack in the other cross country meet. We congratulate Shewit for continued excellence and we expect her better results in 2011! *Eritrean American Athletics Association* February 6, 2011 EAAA- Aspiring to uplift Eritrean in Athletics and Cycling
