Cross Country

From Coacn Norton:  The Cross Country teams have had a good couple of weeks. On Thursday, 9/27, they travelled to Riverside Military to face off against a very solid region opponent. In very hot conditions, the Patriots squeaked by Riverside, beating them by a mere 2 points. Despite the victory, Riverside will be a very real threat to the Varsity boys’ team at the Region Meet on November 1^st.

On Saturday 10/6, OC travelled to Winder-Barrow to participate in the Winder-Barrow Invitational. The Patriots came away with their first trophy of the season, placing second in the girls’ race. The girls were led by Sarah Chastain and Jordan Pringle who both got medals for finishing in the top 10. Freshmen Vivi Diaz and Jojo Diaz both had personal bests to help the team. The Varsity boys also had some good performances on a tough course with Sid Wightman and Quinton Nash leading the way to an 8^th place finish amongst 15 teams. The JV boys also did well finishing 5^th amongst 11 teams.
