Jadyn Clinkscale finished in 2nd place, Rose Marczyk came in 4th, followed by Sanaya Madera in 5th, and Carol Hargrove in 8th.
The Boys Cross Country team did not win the meet, but put forth a strong effort with Evan Ragazzi, Achille Andre, and Ahmed Choudhry all finishing in the top 10.
On Thursday, Sept. 29, both Cross Country teams faced Assumption Regional at home.
