The top runners of the Southlake Carroll Cross Country teams got a much-needed reprieve from the rain as they traveled to Norco, California to compete at the 38th Annual Woodbridge Cross Country Classic.
The race is a fast, three-mile course held under the lights at night. The elite boys and girl’s teams ran among some of the top high school competitors from around the country and came away with top 10 finishes.
“Our boys and girls teams competed hard in California against some of the best teams in the nation," Head Coach Justin Leonard said via press release. "We love having the opportunity to compete against national level competition. These types of races and experiences will pay dividends for our team and runners during the championship portion of our season.”
