The student-athletes gave it their all, conquering the trails in both boys' and girls' heats, demonstrating the heart and dedication it takes to compete.

For those unfamiliar, cross country is a long-distance running sport where athletes race across various terrains like grass, trails, and sometimes hills. It’s a unique mix of individual effort and strong team spirit. While each runner strives to beat their personal best, the encouragement and support from teammates and other runners is what makes cross country special!

Belonging to a club or activity like cross country is a key part of middle school, helping students build friendships, resilience, and a sense of community. Whether cheering from the sidelines or pacing alongside their peers, the team energy tonight was inspiring!

We are beyond proud of our student-athletes for their hard work and dedication in tonight’s meet. Keep pushing and keep running!
