Warrior Cross Country Update What an incredible job everyone did on Saturday at the Baylor Invitational! The evening prior to the race we walked the course, prayed, encouraged each other and discussed tactics. Friday night in Waco we had an awesome time of worship (perhaps singing a little too loudly for the hotel lobby!) and prayer time. The team is collectively seeking God's leading and we are seeing a spiritual explosion in our group. On Saturday, our girls’ team (see photo center) was lined up right next to our main competition for the TAPPS 3A state title this year -Ft. Worth Bethesda Christian. Even though it is very early in the season, we beat Bethesda! In fact, the girls’ team beat many of the largest 4A and 5A schools in the state, and our girls are already very close to personal best times. All five of our scoring runners are ranked in the top
20 at the state level for TAPPS 3A. The runners and their rankings are as follows: Hannah Shearer, #4; Alyssa Regier, #9; Hailey Hanigan, #12; Katy Adams, #16; Riley Farra, #19. For the boys, this was the first 5000m race of the season and a good test of our conditioning. Every single member surpassed or established a personal best time. In fact, out of 180 runners, we had three finish in the top third! Right now at the TAPPS 3A state level, seniors Logan Shearer and Eun Sung Cheon are ranked #10 and #12, respectively, and freshman Sam Mueck is ranked #17. We have two weeks until our next races at Houston Christian for both the middle school and high school. Go Warrior Cross Country! Photo and article submitted by Coach Tom Earle.
