After a great season, Lily Barrow received the Savannah All City XC Team recognition. Runners Charlie Pope, Aarya Patel, Ansley Pedigo, and Lily Spring also received Honorable Mentions.
Seven of our Cross Country runners ran the Enmarket Bridge Run, putting in the work even in the off-season. Lily Barrow and Ansley Cheshire ran the 10k, finishing 1st and 3rd in their age group. Owen Edwards finished 1st in his age group in the 5k.
It was great to have both teams qualify for the State Championships this season. Last year only one individual qualified for the State meet which is a great improvement.
Our girls team finished 20th overall as a team - leading the way was Aarya Patel, Ansley Pedigo, Reese Creeden and SC Gilpin!
Our boys team finished 24th overall as a team - leading the way was Charlie Pope, Kent Burnett and Walker Price!
Both teams did not run as well as they hoped to in the meet due to illness resulting in gutsy performances to place as well as they did.
The middle school cross country team hit the trails at Skidaway State Park for an impressive showing at the SPAL Championship meet.
The ALL team effort led the girls to a first place finish and the boys a second place finish, missing first by 1 point.
Six of our runners had a top ten finish.
In the girls race, we had a one two punch, with Grace Vlahos finishing first and Lily Spring second, and Daryn Hay (5th) and Grey Creeden (10th) rounding out the top 10.
Owen Edward’s finished 2nd for the boys and Arav Senn (5th). Congratulations to ALL our MS Hornets on their speedy performances and a GREAT season!
