The cross country team braved the cold and rain as they ran in their last home meet of the season yesterday.  Even in those conditions 11 athletes were able to break their own personal records!  Graice H, Elizabeth K, Lizzy T, Bella S, and Lily M all bested their times by over a minute.  On the boys side Clayton S and John P also cut down their PR's by a minute or more.  The Cross Country team wants to thank everyone for supporting the team this season especially Mr. Belill in his rubber boots.  Since everyone ran so great yesterday the coaches are giving you a day off today.  Go home after school and enjoy some rest!  Practice continues Thursday after school in Coach Snyder's room.
