The girls tied for first place with Rocklin High School but took second place because of the sixth runner tie breaker. It was a fine effort by all with every team member setting a personal record on the Sierra College course. Congratulations on a great season with many more to look forward to!

Varsity Cross Country Poem: This poem was written by Katie Cousineau for our team.
We run & run & run some more, We just run ourselves into the floor, For miles & miles we go, but Adam always runs more, ya know. Kelli, yeah, she's always winnin', but so does Amanda, so don't be trippin'! Quickly Tanner's running past, & Robert Gertz is far from last. Watch out for Cori, she's zooming by, While Kirsten seems to really fly. Here comes Allen speeding through, & Kenny's a great addition to the crew. Jacobs running rather speedy, leaving others feeling needy. Alex keeps on going, it seems, & Katie backs up all the teams. We're Varsity Cross Country so run if you must, So you best watch out, or you'll eat our dust!
