Congratulations to the Running Wildcats on outstanding performances this past weekend at the Atlanta Track Club Wingfoot Invitational. Pajama Bottoms and Fleece Blankets made an appearance in one of the first cooler meets of the season. The Wildcats jumped hay bales and raced their way through the Grand-Prix like course to take 21st on the boys side and 1st on the girls side, edging out the competition by a mere one point. Just a reminder of how important it is for every racer to pass as many people as possible during the race - regardless of your position on the team. Truly a team sport! The day heated up for the JV racers as Claire S found herself racing the bicycle and taking 1st place. She was followed by Mary M, Chelsea E, Lily S, Elizabeth L, and Ella T. The JV boys' pack was led by Jacob P, Jacob D, Richard R, and Ryan A. Way to go wildcats!
