Friday, August 11th, the XC Raiders took to their home trail to race their Annual 2-Mile Time Trial Team Kickoff Event! Our newly appointed Principal, Principal Schiefflee, kicked off the event by speaking to the team and parents--many learning that he even ran cross country in high school as well.
The runners kicked off the first race with two new course records! Richard Vlady (Sr) raced his way to a new course record of 11:15, and Lidia Lo Faro (So) raced her way to a new course record of 14:00! After both races commenced, the runners enjoyed a cool down followed by dinner, games, and fellowship. Parents joined the coaches on the field to celebrate the night's successes and dinner as well.
It was a great way to end the first week of school, and the XC Raiders are going into their first meet (Picken's Preview) eager to race against other teams!
