Girls XC Team Win New Haven Invitational

This past Saturday was yet another strong outing for the girls cross country team at the New Haven Invitational. The girls came out on top, beating the other 16 teams that also competed. The best finishers for the Raiders were Meghan Yencer, Brooke Penrod, Shelby Skidmore, and Chloe Maddox. They finished, in order, 6th, 16th, 18th, and 21st. I talked to senior Brooke Penrod and she was proud of the way the girls ran and expected the girls team to finish near the top. She also said that this was her favorite meet all season. The boys didn't favor as well, finishing 16th out of 20 teams that competed. The highest finisher for the boys was Nick "Dale" Childers, who finished 44th. When asked about the meet he said that he liked how the boys ran, and really thought that they were improving. The next meet is Tuesday against Woodlan. Dale believes that he is going to win.
