Center Cross Country Meet Results - October 12, 2009
Submitted by Donna N. Shannon, Center Cross Country

What an ugly day for a cross country meet, cold, drizzly, and muddy. But the Center cross country teams were on fire. New PR’s (personal records) were being set all day. And now a bigger picture is starting to come into focus, that bigger picture is the Regional meet. Here is the breakdown, top 3 teams in district go to the regional meet we could be one of those three. Going into the last “rehearsal” week before the district meet only Rene Solis, Shaquille Manuel, and Norma Ruiz have experience to pull from. The freshman hold the key to our success.
