District Meet Results
One of the most important meets for the season for the Varsity teams is the District Meet. Only the top 4 teams (of each Boys and Girls race) of the 11 schools in our district will move on to Sectional competition. The top 30 individuals in each race are also allowed to move on as individuals. Sadly, both boys and girls varsity teams failed to qualify for Sectionals, but we do have one Pirate racer who rose to challenge of the the days tough competition to earn a spot on the Sectional meet starting line. Congratulations to Will C. on qualifying as an individual for the Sectional 2 Cross Country meet!
