Eighth-grader Wills Oberg once again led the pack in a fine time of 12:52 and was ably supported by seventh-graders Alex Lewis, Matteo Chaiten, Oshri Paschal, Oskar Dennis, Cooper Folck, Maddox Buster, Orion Sage-Frabotta and Graham Turnmire. The eighth-grade trio of Donovan Cooney, Jaden Douglass and Charlie Carr provided strong leadership and experience in contributing to the overall success of the Bulldogs last Tuesday.

The McKinney girls team once again showed their Bulldog pride with strong finishes in the field of 124 runners. Sierra Sundell-Turner, Violet Matteson, Elise Bongorno and Bella Thomas competed admirably after having won the MBC League meet four days earlier.

Coach Isabelle commented that this was one of the most successful seasons, with minimal injuries and a record number of runners on the roster. Josie DeWine and Sundell-Turner are the only graduating runners and set a fine example of dedication and leadership during their four-year tenure.
