Poteet

Head coach Jaclyn Smyth:

The varsity girls finished seventh out of 13 teams and were led by Alina Escamilla, Briana Alvarado, Bianca Haynes, Lauren Davila, and Jasmine Oliva all placing in the top half out of 93 runners. These ladies have worked diligently and they know I will continue to push them hard to make sure we meet our goals.

The varsity boys were led by Shane Garcia, Richard Espinoza, and Aiden Panzsa all placing in the top half out of 97 runners. There were several state qualifiers and potential future state qualifiers in this division, so the competition was fierce and the course was tough. The boys know what it will take to complete the mission we set out for this season, and every race they complete helps them stay focused and our eye on the prize.

The junior high competed as individuals and finished impressively.

Eighth grader Natalie Muniz finished third out of 58 runners. Seventh graders Gabby Velasquez and Angelie Ruiz finished fourth and sixth respectively out of 71 runners. These young ladies continue to improve and I am so thankful to have them as a part of our XC family.

Our seventh grade boys Eric Oliva and Eduardo Lopez finished 12th and 15th out 74 runners.

Just like the young ladies, these JH boys put in an immense amount of work and I expect to see great things from them.
