What a great season opener for the boys and girls cross country teams! We kicked off the season with a 2-mile race hosted by Central Catholic. A quick location change due to storm damage brought us to Eastview Christian Church, where the runners made the most of a sunny, flat course.
The girls took 1st place as a team, with three runners taking home top-5 medals: Mira placed 1st, Kinsley finished 2nd, and Emma rounded it out in 4th!
The boys team didnāt disappoint either, rising to the fierce competition with several impressive personal bests. Ty brought home a strong 2nd-place finish, while Connor, Jasper, and Asher all crushed new PRs!
š GAME DAY IS HERE! š
The wait is over. Tonight we officially open the 2026 season on our home court! Freshman gets us started at 5:00, followed by JV at 6:00. Come out, pack the gym, and cheer on your Spartans!
