Liberty Invitational Results

I am so proud of how we performed this week at the Liberty Invitational.  The results speak for themselves:  a combination of never settling as an individual and competing as a team is what gets results in this sport. 

The Varsity and Freshman teams both placed second in their divisions.  In the varsity group, there were only 34 seconds between the first and fifth team finisher, and all five placed in the top 25--that's impressive team running!
