It's Cross Country season again!
Our first meet of the season was titled, "Trial on the Trail." I guess we'd have to interview the runners themselves to find out how much of a trial it really was. The sun was a bit hot toward the beginning, but the clouds came in and softened the heat and the afternoon ended quite comfortably. We have a lot of new faces on the team this year, and have lost or graduated some strong runners, but in my humble opinion, this team has a lot of great potential. It will be fun to see how things shake down as the season progresses.Our host was Elmwood Park High School.
