A good Cross Country course is designed to disrupt a runner's momentum with sharp turns, different terrain and rolling hills. This course checked all those boxes and provided a tough challenge for this young team but they all stepped up and pushed themselves across the line finishing a great season and showing that they are ready for their Conference meet next Thursday.
