State Cross Country 2024:
The Roughrider Boys came into the meet ranked 11th and ran lights out to finish in 7th! This is the highest team finish for the boys in the history of the Southern McLean co-op!!! Cody, Easton, and Daniel ran lifetime PRs!
The girls came in ranked 12th and finished in 11th! Chev, Brooke, Lacy, Ciarra, and Briella ran PRs!
For both teams to exceed our pre-meet rankings shows how ready the athletes were to run their best. Coach Stamstad and the whole Roughrider community is beyond proud of each and every single athlete today! They ran with heart and they ran for each other. It was a special day.
To Kari, Cody, and Quinton: thank you. Your Senior leadership has been amazing. You have shown the other athletes what it means to work hard, sacrifice, and lead by example. You will be greatly missed next year.
Thank you all for your support throughout the year! Go Roughriders!
