Runnin’ with Victor Hernandez

VYPE: You play a lot of sports; how do you manage that? HERNANDEZ: For most of the sports, I just figure out times with the coaches and talk with them. For football and cross country, I just talk to Coach McGuire. We just figure out when I can do cross country and then come kick for football at whatever time. Just figuring out times that work best for him and me is key. VYPE: So, what all sports do you play? HERNANDEZ: In the fall, I’m the varsity kicker for football, varsity runner for cross country and I do select soccer for a league over in Beaumont. In the spring, I am the captain of the Bridge City soccer team and run track. VYPE: When you watch soccer, who do you like to watch? HERNANDEZ: Right now, it is Messi. Before, I liked watching highlights of Pele, the world’s best soccer player. For the school soccer team, I have the same number as both – 10. I love watching Messi, he’s the perfect example of a perfect left-footer. He can also make a play out of nowhere. VYPE: What are your goals for cross country? HERNANDEZ: Timewise, I’m hoping to get into the 17-minute 5K, and then Regionals-wise I hope to make it again. I made it my freshman and sophomore year and hope to make it my junior year. State is still a little far off, but I’m going to work for it. VYPE: What are your interests outside of sports? HERNANDEZ: I love learning about space and biology. I hope to do either one of those in college if sports doesn’t work out.
