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!
