The Wildcats kicked off the season this Saturday at the Wesleyan Invitational. It was a challenging, hilly course on a hot day that just got hotter - but the Wildcats were ready for the competition with strong legs and determined minds. The varsity boys finished 5th overall led by Michael M (15th). Anna M took 4th in the varsity girls race; and the team finished a strong 3rd overall. Kris C took 12th in the JV boys race to lead the team to a 4th place finish. 8th grader Claire S finished 2nd overall to lead the JV girls to a team 3rd place finish. The coaches were extremely impressed with the runners in their first race of the season (and first race ever for some runners) and are looking forward to what's to come! A special thanks to our DHS XC Alumni that came out to cheer on the team. Also thank you to all the parents that came out and supported our runners.
