Relaxing after a substantial win, the team celebrated by swimming in a local lake together, basking in their accomplishments
The Cross Country team’s achievements don’t end here. The season has just begun, and the runners are eager for more.
In the season of 2020, the boys team achieved second at the State Championship. This year, they plan to strive for more and claim first place.
Some runners to keep an eye out for are high school juniors Bryan Kerrigan and Carter Bayer, and high school senior Joe Kirwin. It will be exhilarating to witness the future races that our Red-Tailed Hawks take to next.
