Another huge shout-out to our cross-country team who tackled the rough-and-rugged rectangle in Charlotte yesterday.

And on the girls’ side, we had some equally stellar performances. Lucy S, Ketlei L, and KyLynn S. ran their best times of the season as they raced through the orchard. Everyone put in a fantastic effort.
