Let’s hear it for our boys varsity cross country team. On Friday they competed in the Nike Desert Twilight Cross Country Festival against teams for 7 different states.
Jordan Black, Ariel Antonini, Rocco Berbetti, Richie Johnston and Sammy Johnston all ran an incredible race. They competed in the elite division and all ran faster than they have ever run. Sammy Johnston now sits as the 4

fastest sophomore in the state of AZ. He also ranks as the 3
rd
fastest athlete in our division. A very special shout out also goes to Jordan Black. Jordan just put himself into the record books by being the 8

Arizona High School athlete to break 15 minutes in the 5k. Jordan placed 4
th
in the race. His time puts him as the 6

fastest XC athlete of all time in the state of Arizona. Also, as of now, he is ranked as the 11
