STA’s three Scott sisters run track together

Scott girls discover sisterhood running together side by side. | by MOLLIE POINTER

As the three sisters round the corner, the two younger sisters whisper a scheme, nodding to the one in front of them. Planning their execution, the girls reach for their oldest sister’s shorts, bouncing along as they continue their warm up.  Screaming and yelling, the three girls drop to the ground and burst out laughing as the eldest grabs at her ankles, frantically looking to yank her shorts back up.

Sisters senior Alle, sophomore Lauren and freshman Brenna Scott are all a part of the STA track team this year as well as all three being at STA.

‘It’s different with all three of us [at STA],’ Alle said. ‘When we’re all together we’re kind of crazy.’

Alle and Lauren are currently mid distant runners on the team, while Brenna is a sprinter. According to Brenna, they find themselves competing with each other at practice and in meets.

‘I feel bad running next to Alle because I feel like she should be better since she’s older but [Lauren and I] are both faster,’ Brenna said.

Lauren disagreed with Brenna’s statement and doe not feel competitive against her sisters.

‘[Brenna and I] have nothing to worry about since Alle sucks,’ Lauren said. ‘She just kind of strolls along.’

Since the season started the three girls find themselves becoming closer and creating new sisterly bonds.

‘Me and Alle made a pact not to laugh at Lauren when she thinks she’s being funny,’ Brenna said. ‘Lauren thinks she’s the funniest but she’s not.’

Lauren brushed off her sisters comment.

‘Well [Alle and I] make fun of Brenna because she runs really weird,’ Lauren said. ‘She leans to the left and tilts her head.’

According to all three of the girls, the Scott sister trademark is their ability to be incredibly loud. Track season has only enhanced this quality.

‘Lauren’s always yelling at me and Alle’s always like ‘ËœGo Brenna! You can do it!” Brenna said.

The three sisters agreed that they might not participate in track next year, but recognize the positives they have gotten from the experience.

‘Maybe we should all go out for lacrosse together next year?’ Brenna purposed.

‘Don’t even say that,’ Alle said.
