Middle School
The Warrior cross country team concluded their season at MSWAC on Saturday. Coach Murillo and Coach Jordan are very proud of the runners because 26 out of the 28 runners ran their personal best at the last race of the season. We did have two runners that placed in the top ten. In the mile race Naomi Villafana placed 5th, and Emily Corral capped off her middle school career as the MSWAC champion for the 8th grade girls. It’s a great day to be a Warrior!!!!!!!
