Asheville- Saturday, September 24th started out chilly with clear skies for our cross country teams this past weekend for their race at Asheville Christian Academy. With the first race to start at 930AM, our Maroon Devils started to do their warm-up run and dynamic stretches before lining up against 13 bigger teams with 111 runners in all. After running a fast 5K, Parker Chatham finished 14th proving to be just as good as all the other bigger schools’ runners. Shortly after, our Lady Devils started to get a few strides in before lining up to start. With a total of 16 bigger teams and 124 runners in all, Emma Pindur finished 8th also proving to be just as good as the other top runners. At the conclusion of the races, our boys finished 6th and our girls finished 8th. Cross country’s next meet is this Wednesday, September 28th at the Hiwassee Dam in Hayesville starting at 430PM. Come out and support our state bound cross country teams.
