“The girls ran an especially strong race considering that they are all new to high school cross-country this year. They are a young and talented team,” Coach Mark Tompkins said. “The boys ran a solid race led by seniors Cameron (Wojcieszak), Andrew (Cadwell) and junior Curt (Ivanoff).”
Both teams will race next week in the 2A East Region meet at Panorama Farms in Earlysville in hopes of reaching states for the first time during Tompkins’ tenure.
