Meeker’s high school cross country team has been hard at work this pre-season, with seniors Brighton Bair, Eddie Drussell, and Gage Richardson leading the way. Many members of the team participated in our XC Camp this past weekend, which included running on the South Fork trail on Friday evening, and a tour through the Spring Cave on Saturday morning. We had some of the normal nerves with some portions of the cave, but with helpful direction and plenty of encouragement from the team, everyone completed the rope section.
Terrence Casias, assistant coach again this year, is helping to get everyone ready for the Cowboy’s first competition, our home meet, this Saturday morning, with races starting at 9:30 a.m. Races will begin and end on the practice field at Barone Middle School.
