This weekend was a busy for the XC teams. The MS team ran in the NMAA MS Meet at Rio Rancho. Every MS runners set a personal record, and not by a little but some by one to two minutes. They did a great job all season.
The Varsity ran in the Extravaganza on Saturday, which is the PreState meet. We were missing 3 of our top girls and two of our top boys for various reasons but we still ran well. The Vasrity girls placed 6th and the Varsity Boys placed 12th.
