The cross country team recently participated in the area meet this past week. We had yet another successful meet. Runners were grouped by gender and age group. Some groups had up to 160 runners in their division. Team scores were calculated by tabulating the top 4 finishers for each school within an age group and gender. Here were our team results:
Grade 4 Girls >> 3rd place
Grade 4 Boys >> 1st place
Grade 5 Girls >> 1st place
Grade 6 Boys >> 2nd place
Grade 7 Boys >> 3rd place
Junior Division Overall >> 1st place
Intermediate Division Overall >> 2nd place
On top of some spectacular team performances, we also had many great individual performances. The following students have qualified for the cross country regional meet next week for having finished their race in the top 15. Reminder that these races had up to 160 runners running in them.

Congratulation to all cross country athletes. Not only did they perform very well, but they demonstrated exceptional behavior while at the meet. They represented our school and community with great pride.

We couldn’t be any more proud of our athletes!!!!!
