Cross country is a riveting sport that catches the attention of many. When asked, cross country members were eager to answer and were cooperative. A seventh grader who wished to remain anonymous said "My most memorable moment was the first race because every one finished ahead and did good." Jake M. and many others like Katie Brewer and Greg D. said Tiger Trails was the most memorable moment because everyone did excellent. Another memorable moment for Renick Wilson was when he won 3rd place in 6th grade. For 6th graders and 7th graders competition keeps them going. For 8th graders, they feel like everyone encourages them. Another 8th grader said she was sore ocasionally and another 7th grader said that she repeated cross country even though she twisted her knee. She said that injuries in the sport rarely occur. Jake M. said his family has a history of running in cross country so he joined to keep his tradition. Many runners joined a second time because they enjoyed it the year before. Running is a competitive and enriching sport and all participants said, "You should join ASAP"!

A great cross country year for the bulldogs! Good news, we are first place in Aurora! However we had awards for the best cross country runner and the most improved runner. Jake M. won the best runner of the year award. The most improved runner award went to none other than Sean Benson. Spectacular job to our bulldogs! You guys rock!
