CYO Cross Country

The Hawks had a great Cross Country season this year! All 27 runners dedicated time after school and on Sunday to improve their physical and mental toughness, even running through the mud and in the rain! We had two Developmental Meets and a Championship Meet. The team did amazing, individuals dropped time throughout the season and we had 4 athletes place in the top 10 at a meet in their age group. 

• Emerson Iannitto placed 1st in both Freshmen girls Developmental Meets with a 9:40 and 9:17 for 2K meters. 
• For the Championship Meet, Charles Chapot placed 7th in Freshmen boys with a time of 8:38 for 2K meters.
• Isla Whelan placed 8th in JV girls with a time of 14:24 for 3K meters.
• Jason Day placed 2nd in Varsity boys with an amazing 15:14 for 4K meters. 

Great job and congratulations to all of our Cross Country runners! We would also like to thank the parents that volunteered, at practice, at the meets, or for the banquet. You made the experience that much more enjoyable for the athletes!
