The UMiddle cross country team competed in the October 28 regional cross country meet. The girls qualified for the regional and finished 5th out of 16 teams. The boys team finished 7th out of 23 teams but did not qualify for the regional.

First off, Mr. Loupe was there to cheer them on. He was excited to see them do so well in the meet. 

“Throughout the season, they have been led by an amazing staff of highly qualified runners/coaches.” Loupe said. 

The meet took place at Shelby farms park in Memphis, TN.

“Because this is a State Championship XC meet, our runners will get to meet other runners from school all across the state of Tennessee,” Loupe said. 

The UMiddle team were up against stiff competition at the meet.

“They will also have the opportunity to compete with the best runners in the state,” Loupe said.
