Cross Country State Meet Results:
Girls team place 2nd overall. State Runner up in just our 3rd year! They beat out the defending state champion Incarnate Word by 1 point. Savanna McAlister shocked the state by WINNING THE STATE MEET!! Elizabeth Fargo also made all-state with her 7th place finish. Matthew Michner grabbed the 10th and final all-state spot on the boys side. I have never seen one of my runners push a body to the total limit like he did. Our boys ran a great race and I was very proud. They finished 9th overall and worked so incredibly hard.
