Congratulations to the Cross Country team, who placed third in both the boys’ and girls’ races at the county meet yesterday. The varsity runners on the boys’ team all placed within the top 35 spots and the varsity runners on the girls’ team all placed within the top 30 spots. In the boys’ JV race, Jesse Dixon, Paul Hazel, and Aiden Lee placed 1st, 14th, and 19th respectively. In the girls’ JV race, Emma Curtis placed 11th, Lauren Martindale 13th, Kaitlyn Goodall 14th, and Adrianna Minnick 15th. All runners were focused and ran hard during the race. Great job, Colts!
After beating Brown County on Monday the 8th grade football team fell to North Clay in last night’s contest. The 8th graders scored 22 points in the second half. The final score was 22-34 in North Clay’s favor. Valiant effort boys. On to Batchelor Thursday next week.
Good job to both volleyball teams on your hard-fought wins against Tri-North.
