Thank you, Coach Sebastian Benavides for sharing these impressive Junior High results from the Bandera Cross Country Meet!
On Saturday, September 7, the Junior High cross country team traveled to Bandera to compete in the third annual Steve Golemon Bandera Invitational. Annalise Quintanilla and Jacob Cantu led the teams with outstanding performances. Annalise ran an impressive 13:58 for two miles, achieving a personal best. Jacob Cantu executed our strategy perfectly and broke the Junior High record for two miles with a time of 10:26, surpassing the previous record of 10:28 set in 2005 by me. It is a privilege to witness records being broken by our current athletes, and we cherish these moments.
