The varsity cross-country teams finished up their regular season with a strong showing at the Westminster Invitational and the Last Chance Invitational in Carrollton. The WolfPack placed second at the Westminster meet with Zach Justice (9th) leading the boys followed by Kerry Martin (12th) and Nicholas Harris (10th).
Matthew Cofield (10th) made a major breakthrough, trimming 1 minute and 20 seconds off his best time. Senior Kalen Tavassolli (12th) also set a personal record on the course. Kate Taylor led the girls, placing 21st out of 107 runners.
This past Saturday, the boys team traveled to Carrollton for the Last Chance Invitational, to race on a track that is considered the hardest cross-country course in the state. This is the same course the runners will complete if they make the 2015 GHSA state cross-country championships.
This race was a good warm-up for the state competition, allowing the teams to discern the course and plan a winning strategy. Kerry Martin (12th), gave the best performance, finishing in the top 28%, followed by Zach and Sean Morris (9th). The junior varsity boys team was led by Luke Petersen (9th).
Today, the WolfPack competes in the Georgia area 6A Private School Cross-Country Championships at the fast and fun course at Dellinger Park in Cartersville.
