MileSplit SC asked our two interns to share about their 2024 intern experience as the year ended. See what they experienced inside this article.
Page two is the writeup from Caleb Aikenhead. Page one is written by Krista Silletti.
My name is Krista Silletti, and I am currently a senior at Greer Middle College. I run for the track club, Iron Sharpens Iron, and am an intern for MileSplit SC (scrunners). This is a reflection of the five main things that I have learned so far from being an intern.
1. How to upload a college commitment and signing to the MileSplit SC website.
I state this as the number one thing that I learned because I was able to learn how to do this from my very own college commitment. I recently signed with Mississippi State University to run collegiate track and field. I had the opportunity to be able to upload my own signing to the website, which was overall just an amazing experience for me. To have the chance to be able to be on both sides of my internship is something that not many people can say that they have.
2. Learning how to work behind the scenes.
Whether it is learning how to use all the camera equipment to take race videos and pictures, or uploading various things to MileSplit SC website, I have really enjoyed learning about how to be behind the scenes. My internship is unique in the fact that not only am I an intern, but I also run too. While it has been an adjustment, I have loved learning about different aspects of being behind the scenes.
3. Helping interview runners.
Learning how to help interview runners has been one of my favorite parts thus far. I am normally the one being interviewed, so to have a chance to be able to help with others has been really cool for me.
5. Being able to attend all the 2024 SCHSL state cross country meets.
