Go Wildcats!

We're off -- and running!

Both teams are off to a great start this season. Both the boys and girls team ran their fastest team times ever at the Berry Invitational last Saturday. Their times earned the boys team a number 10 ranking in the state and the girls a number five ranking. What a great way to start the season! Their hard work over the summer is paying off. Go Wildcats!

Thank you!

Recently, two families have made really big donations to the team.

The Causey-Horstman family made a donation of $1,000. We have used some of the funds to make new directional signs for our meets, have grading work done on the rock trail and a banner created for the Run at the Rock meet. These could not have been purchased without their generation donation.

We were in need of another Seiko finish timing system and James Arnold donated a new one to the team. The timing system is about $400.

A huge THANK YOU to both families for their generosity in support of our cross country team!
