AURORA CROSS COUNTRY MEET:
The HS and JH cross country teams headed to Aurora on Thursday for their meets. The course was tough. The air quality was even worse, but these kids pushed through. (It was also the first race for 7 of our 8 junior high runners.) Overall, we ended up with two HS athletes and two JH athletes earning medals by placing in the top 20.
Sidney Roe pushed through a knee issue and still did amazing, placing 3rd for the varsity girls. Tobias Smith placed 19th for the varsity boys.
Demi Roe placed 2nd in the JH girls race, and Zaylon Corwin placed 6th in the JH boys race.
If you have never made it to a XC race before, you need to come out for the Cassville race on Tuesday, October 7th and cheer them on. These kids are inspiring and display some true grit and determination every single time they race. It’s truly an honor to watch them push themselves to get better each day.
