Cross Country
The season has started off well as we hosted 27 schools at the FZN Twilight Invitational. Some of the fastest times in the state were recorded there Friday and our teams ran well with several student-athletes just outside of medal range.
Girls Varsity Twilight Race Info: 21:21 average time with an elite 58 second 1-5 split. This put our girls team way ahead of where we started last year with a team that qualified for the state cross country meet.
Boys Varsity Twilight Race Info: 17:54 average time with a 1:55 1-5 split which also puts the boys at a great start for the season.
We look to continue a nice start to the season at the Forest Park Cross Country Festival this Saturday.
