After consecutive meet cancellations due to weather and rescheduled competitions, cross country heads to Warren Park Thursday morning at 7 a.m. for the annual District 9-5A championship meet.

“I feel like despite the obstacles that we’ve faced I think our team will do well tomorrow with the training that our coaches has implemented on us,” senior Kaylen Ruiz said. “Even though Warren is infamous for being tough, I know that our early mornings that we practiced there will pay off. We have each other as a team and the knowledge of our coaches as well as their trust.”

Training since June, the team hopes all the miles and hours of running will pay off by earning a spot at the regional meet.

“I think the team should do good and place well,” junior Pierce Rupert said. “Throughout the season, there’s been a lot of hope and motivation to strive for regionals, and possibly even state, and that’ll show itself tomorrow.”
