My cross country (high school) team took 1st place today in the 4A FL state championships. We also had the individual winner, Mike Swope, who came in at 14:57. The course was 3 miles, or a bit short of 5 kilometers. This is our first state championship since the course length extended to 3 miles ('72?). 😃

Were you on the team too?

It’s cool isn’t it? When I was in high school, we took the Maine State title twice in skiing, and Eastern Maine State title twice in soccer. I still have the jackets to prove it.
