The Raider cross country team brought home some team hardware from our home meet for the first time since its inception in 1990! We placed 3rd to two of the best teams in the state and more importantly beat all the teams that our main competition in the state qualifying sectionals. It is a big advantage to be hosting the sectional meet and this was the first meet this year where I asked the boys to really lay it all out there. They performed like the champions that I knew they were. I believe we had 16 out of 17 prs. My new posts are gunna change a little from the past. I will just post each kid witht their time, place and a few notes on how they raced. At the bottom will be pictures from the meet that the parents have been nice enough to take for me. We will race again next weekend at a smaller flighted race where I hope to bring home our first team title in over 30 years! Enjoy and Go Raiders
