The girls team finished sixth with Conner Allender leading the team in 23rd place. Collins-Maxwell was the champion of the girls’ race.
“Very nice showing for our team,” commended coach Jeff Lamoureux. “We added this meet after having to cancel our home meet because of the weather. Sometimes it’s hard to get the team motivated when they weren’t expecting to run a meet but our kids really stepped up.”
