Cross Country

By Sophie Bellanger

The Cross Country Teams train year round running in the heat, rain, cold, wind or whatever weather conditions mother nature decides to bestow each day. In the sport of cross country running, athletes run long distances on natural terrain courses consisting of dirt and grass. There are no half-times, no substitutions, and no time-outs. These tough conditions don't deter the hard-working athletes of the JCCS Boys and Girls Cross Country teams. Congratulations to the following members of the boys team who qualified to compete at the State Championship meet: Conan Buchanan, Preston Curtis, Luke Galey, Anthony Johnson, Andrew Johnson, Andrew Jordan, Nathan Sprawls, Emile Van Halen. Congratulations to Miley Percle who competed for the girls team at the State Championship meet and received 19th place out of a tough competitive field. The athletes and coaches have much to be proud of for their dedication and work ethic.
