Another great day to be a Running Raider! It was our last home meet of the season and the Middle School runners did not disappoint our home crowd. Almost every runner beat their previous best they had run on our home course. Jaina Butler ran her last home race of her middle school career and she did it literally running away. Her previous course record was 14:53.9. Today Jaina ran away from the rest of the field and ran a fast 14:04.56 to set a new course record. Reid Sidders was our 1st runner for us to cross the finish line. Look for Reid to set a new record for the boys next season. Our boys team tied with Greenview for 1st, but since we had 6 runners to their 5, we were awarded 1st place. Below are our results for our runners:



Jaina Butler - 1st - 14:04.56
