Our cross country team had stellar improvement this week, beating their previous times left and right.
The boys placed second, only 4 points away from first place. Placing third was 8th grader Maric N. only 7 seconds behind second place. Eighth grader Nate R. beat his time by 20 seconds this week to place 4th. Fifth grader Jake M. can’t be stopped! He beat his previous time by 10 seconds and moved up 2 spots to 12th while fighting a massive cramp. Eighth grader Max G. also pushed through to finish in 13th, followed by 8th grader Brandon I. placing 14th, even with an ankle injury.
Our girls team tied with the Wang to place second. Seventh grader Analia T. pushed through a pulled hamstring to place 8th. Next in was 5th grader Skylar B. beating her time by a whole 28 seconds to place 12th. Sixth grader Grace S. and 5th grader Charlie F. both beat their time by almost a whole minute to place 13th and 14th. Next in we had Mia C. who beat her time by 20 seconds to place 18th.
The coaches are so proud of all of the progress the team is making. They cannot wait to see how this upcoming week pans out!
