The Lytle Pirate Cross Country team traveled to River City Community Church Athletic Fields again on Saturday, September 26, 2020, to participate in the FEAST #2 Invitational Meet. The team got an opportunity to run on a flat, fast course against some great competition and they took advantage of it.
The Varsity boys ran up a level against some bigger San Antonio schools which helped most of them post some personal best times. JoseCarlos Hernandez led the boys to a 5th place team finish out of 10 with his 11th place finish.
The Varsity girls finished 4th out of 13 with Marissa Lopez leading the way as she sneaked out the individual title at the end and setting a personal record as a result. Her, along with all the Varsity girls, had great races which they needed leading up to this week as they run against Poth and Karnes City, two of the strongest teams in the district.
The JV boys, with 4 Freshman and a Sophomore, ran up a level as well and got to compete against some Varsity teams in Race #2 and competed very well, finishing 6th out of 11. Freshman Abel Sanchez ran a great race finishing 13th with a time of 17:35 which would have put him 4th on our Varsity and his effort helped the boys move up to 4th out of 16 in the final standings when they merged the divisions.
The JV girls did not have enough for a team, but all four young ladies also set personal bests with Yadhira Mendez leading the way with a 14th place finish.
