Yesterday was a great finish to the regular cross country season! Harmonie Shull had a good race, beating her previous time on the course and finishing in 18:42. Layla Anderson cut 20 seconds off of her previous PR and ran a great race finishing in 17:22. Kiiryn Shull ran one of his best times, finishing in 15:13. He had a great first season and has his eyes on state next year. And Randal Engels ran a fantastic race finishing 14th overall, 5th in the individuals, which qualified him for State with a time of 13:41! I couldn't be more proud of all of these athletes and their handwork this season!
