Thank you, Coach Sebastian Benavides for this update on our Junior High runners:
The Junior High Cross Country team traveled to Ingram, Texas, to participate in the 2024 Ingram Warrior XC Meet this weekend. 7th grader Haleigh Monreal and 8th grader Annalise Quintanilla led their respective teams. We brought most of our squad to Ingram, although a few athletes sat out due to allowable meet participation in a season. We will compete next weekend in Round Rock at the McNeil Invitation.
In the 7th-grade girls' division, Haleigh Monreal led our Lady Pirates from the start, powering through an 800-meter incline in her two-mile race. She crossed the finish line with a personal best time of 14:49, finishing 4th out of 59 runners. Teammates Anna Scotello (11th), Emmalynn Sanchez (13th), Sophia Gonzalez (44th), and Adreena Settles (59th) followed closely behind. The team would finish 3rd out of the teams.
In the 7th-grade boys' division, Wyatt Keenum led the Pirates with a 24th-place finish out of 46 runners. Teammates Zane Davenport (33rd), Tyler Vaughn (34th), and Hemi Vaughn (37th) were close behind. The team did not achieve a team finish this week.
In the 8th-grade girls' division, Annalise Quintanilla posted the fastest time of 13 minutes and 30 seconds for two miles, finishing first out of 43 runners. To put this in perspective, had she run in the Varsity Girls race, she would have placed in the top eleven. This new personal best positions Annalise as a strong contender for the district title on October 9th. Teammate Aaliyah Rodriguez finished 26th. The team did not achieve a team finish.
In the 8th-grade boys' division, Emiliano Guerra finished 33rd out of 47 runners.
It was a great showing for these athletes as we approach the District Championship Meet next month.
