Regional Champs Recap: Congratulations to the Boys on their Regional 2nd place, losing only by a point to Mt. Vista! Also, congrats to Bailey Timmons on capturing the Individual Regional Championship! The first ever for a Jag Boy. Chris Theodore ran another outstanding race finishing in 2nd! Lastly Derek Fearon continues to impress with an 11th place, joining Bailey and Chris on the All Regional Team. Our Girls ran one of our best races of the year, and just came up short of our goal of 2nd. Shannon Osoba ran her best race of the season finishing 3rd, just 2 seconds out of 1st and joined the All Regional Team. Bailee Stones ran a great race setting a personal best and Hope James continues to run well. It's hard to believe we're down to 1 race, the State Championships.

League Champs - Congratulations to the boys on capturing our 1st League Championship, and to Bailey T, who became our 1st Individual Champion!, Having 6 boys on 1st and 2nd Team All League was impressive as well! The Girls ran their best race of the year finishing a strong 2nd place, with 3 ladies making 2nd Team All League. The B Boys ran very impressive in winning their League Title. All of our Teams finished in the top 3 making for the most successful season in our 14 year program. While we do graduate many Seniors, there are many underclassmen that have had great seasons and the future looks bright. Congrats on a great season to those Jags who finished up at leagues!
