A great morning for racing at Kingswood Park yielded fantastic performances from our boys and girls.  Two strong packs in the top 30 overall runners helped the girls to a second-place team finish.  Katie Spray led the way in 6th followed closely by Terra Forsythe and Whitley Elsass.  Next, the boys placed 3rd among 14 schools. Ben Stites posted a time of 16:08 setting a new school 5k record.  Check out the updated boys records page as Max Hoffman also climbed up the all-time top 20.  Congratulations to all our runners on a week of great improvement and teamwork!
