Southland Academy JV & Varsity Cross-Country Meet

Brookwood school's Cross-Country team ran our first official race on Tuesday, September 6th, in Americus, at Southland Academy.  Both the Middle School and Varsity Boy teams ended up claiming second, and both the JV and Varsity girls claimed third. 

I won the race with a time of 17:44 (four seconds away from a PR) along with Alex Carico and Daniel Fortner who also finished in the top ten. Leigh Stauffer finished fourth overall, along with Hunter Avera in the top ten. Will Carico tied for second place with Billy, Noah placed fourth, and Preston turned in a ninth place finish for the JV boys. Julia Hilson and Honey Balfour finished 7th and 8th overall for the JV girls. Coach Grant Stauffer told us that we put on a pretty impressive performance for our first meet of the season, but I think that we're just getting started.
