Last Saturday, our Jr. High XC State Qualifiers ran their last race of the season, and for our 3 8th grade state qualifiers, their last JR High races.
Emma Hardy and Lily Rains represented their school well as they have all season, and we are so excited for the future of both of these great young athletes, with Lily Rains moving on to High School and Emma going into her 7th grade season!
On the boys side, the dynamic duo of Bryden Dalby and Jacob Marlow did not disappoint, placing 4th and 5th individually to claim All State Honors! The career these 2 have had these past 4 years has been nothing short of remarkable, and it would be an understatement to say we are excited for them to join the high school squad next season!
Great job!!! You have made your school and community proud!
It is with great sadness to announce former bus driver, Roy Yanez, passed away this morning.
