Families are the compass that guide us. They are the inspiration to reach great heights, and our comfort when we occasionally falter. -- Brad Henry

XC Sweep

The Powdersville High School cross-country team (XC for short) swept the Regional meet!!  The girls varsity team won their region, the boys varsity won their region, the girls JV won their region, and the boys JV won their region!  It was a wonderful celebration for the girls varsity team, especially, as this was a first in the school's history!  And when we included all the individual awards, the picture below shows off a lot of hardware. 😊

When the announcement was made about the girls' team, we knew then it would be a sweep.  PVHS won by a razor thin margin of only 5 points.

The top 10 finishers in the girls competition were awarded All-Region.  I was shouting with excitement when my little one's name was called out.  She finished 8th place!  Her amazing time of 23:54 was a new PR, and it certainly contributed to her team's win.

Afterwards, the team circled for a group hug and acknowledgement of thanks.  We're so grateful the meet was injury-free.  This is such a great group of kids, too.
