Congrats to both the boys and girls varsity cross country teams for some great running in Salida on Saturday. The girls team finished in 2nd place out of 18 teams and the boys team took first place. The boys team was led by Stephen Haysley and Griffin Hampton who finished 1st and 3rd as individuals... treating the crowd to a thrilling sprint to the finish with less than half of a second separating the first 3 places. Great running and good luck to all runners this Saturday at Windjammer.
Be sure to check the Arapahoe website for further details
