Coach Oldaker said she couldn’t be prouder of her two teams’ efforts this season.

“I would like to start by saying our hard these children worked this season,” she said. “They are a genuinely great bunch of kids. I am so proud of them and I know their parents are going to spend a long time bragging about them.

“This season couldn’t have been as successful as it was without the dedication of coach Greg Waddell. He has brought tremendous knowledge and experience to our cross-country family.”
