Congratulations to the Lady Wildcats for surviving Region 7-AAAAAA and advancing to the state meet. The varsity team finished 3rd in their race led by Samantha C, Julia E, Emma S, Kelly May S, and Ally W. Samantha C finished 1st in the race and Julia E took 14th – both bringing home medals for the Wildcats. It was truly a team effort for the Wildcats to advance to state as the 1st – 5th teams were separated by a mere 14 points – one of the closest region races ever contested. Strong runs by Emma S, Kelly May S, Ally W, Anna M, and Chloe T made sure the season continued. The JV Girls also finished 3rd in their race as KC W took 1st place overall followed by Oliva V, Ashley A, Ellie C, and Megan J.
The boys’ varsity team ran a gutsy race finishing 8th overall in the region against some of the best teams in the state. They were led by Max M (10th overall), Phineas H, Walter H, Jackson W, Cade L, Leighton C, and Sasha H. The JV boys finished 7th overall led by Andrew R. Congratulations to Vikrant B who finished 2nd overall in the Open Race. The boys should take 2 weeks off running to completely rest their bodies before starting their training for next season.

The coaches would like to thank all of the student-athletes, (especially our seniors) who have worked so hard this season to make Wildcat Cross Country the best it can be. We appreciate your dedication to the team and more importantly your ability to make running so much fun! Thanks for all you do!
There will be no Friday morning practice on 10/28. Instead, we'll meet the girls on Saturday 10/29 at Blackburn Park from 8am to 9:30am for a simulated Carrollton workout.
The State Meet will be contested on November 5th at Carrollton Elementary School. The girls race at 11:45am. Also, please put Thursday November 17th at 7pm on your calendar for our Awards Ceremony in the DHS Auditorium. You’ll have plenty of time after the Powder Puff Football Game to get ready.
Go Wildcats!
