District Cross Coutry
On Thursday of Week 2, RVSSC sent a team of 32 highly tuned athletes to compete in the Central Comets Cross Country Trials. To progress to the Met West Trials in Week 6, students had to place in the top six of their race. RVSSC had six students achieve this milestone, including a race winner—congratulations to Indie Weatherby, our 13 Years Girls Champion! Please see the table below for details of our other regional qualifiers.
I would personally like to offer my sincere thanks to the students who represented RVSSC on the day. It’s at events like these, involving numerous schools, that the strength of OUR school community truly shines.
Yagera Sport – Winter Season Update
