The Cross Country team braved the wet weather to compete in the district meet at Blooming Grove, dodging rain drops in an effort to finish the race and hoping for a shot at moving on to regionals.

     “Cross country is a challenge,” sophomore Miryam Zapata said. “We would run everyday after school to get ready.”

     Even though none of the runners progressed to regionals, coach Pat Roberts said he was proud of them.

     “Although we did not have anyone advance to the Regional Meet, I’m very proud of our guys.” Roberts said. “They ran well and gave it their all.”

     Despite the disappointment, the runners are already looking ahead at what they can do in the future to improve their times.

     “I wish we would’ve made it to regionals,” sophomore Nathaniel Young said. “But I am pretty excited for next year; I’m already training for it.”
