Responding to the team’s success, Coach Kate Hill explained, “The team’s success in both the Varsity and JV races have demonstrated how important depth of talent is to a cross country team. No runner is the star who carries the team to victory. These girls have worked incredibly hard this season, and their success is well earned.”
