Slow and steady wins the race and after walking on to Baylor’s cross country team as a freshman, slow and steady is how Peoria, Ill. senior Lindsay Walton became one of the Bears’ best runners.
Being a walk-on is a difficult journey for any athlete no matter the sport. For Walton it was a “slow progression” to the top, but the senior said she felt she had the potential to improve over time.
“We came in with a lot of super-fast girls and I don’t ever think that I was like gunning for them but I definitely didn’t want to come in as a freshman and just like never improve and never get faster,” Walton said.
