CROSS COUNTRY
Running Up That Hill Delphian Cross Country competes in the state’s Special District 2. Each race is a 5K, about 3.1 miles. The team competed in seven races this season, including the district championship. The highlight was our home cross-country invitational, aptly named Conquer the Hill, known for being one of the most challenging courses in the league. The course begins on the track and then winds down towards the pond, looping around the front trail and concluding back on the track. In the Conquer the Hill race, Sarah Fernandez took first place in the girls’ category, William Collins secured first place in the boys’ category, and London Whitworth took second.

Delphian School took great pride in seeing one of our own Delphian Dragons, Coco RoseCoates, donning Spartan blue as she was the first player to join the Sheridan High School girls soccer team as part of the new player-share agreement established this year. The athletic directors of Delphian, Sheridan, and Willamina, being small schools, joined forces to enhance athletic opportunities for local athletes. The partnership, aimed at sharing players, has seen a promising beginning, and we look forward to its continued success. PAGE 19
