This Saturday the RHS Girls cross country team trekked through a soggy course at The Avon Lake Invitational to finish in 5th place at the varsity race.  Senior Captain, Megan Diulus led the way with a 4th place finish, while Ellie Meech placed 15th and Kierra Lang was 19th to earn top 25 awards and ribbons. Caroline Wilson and Allyson Schultz ran strong races to finish just outside the top 30 and complete the team's scoring runners.  Charlotte Keenan, Ally Meixner, Kayla Beard and Kayla Kephart also had great runs in a tough varsity race!

The JV team was greeted by an even muddier course than the earlier varsity race, but they rose to the challenge and pushed themselves to the limit!  Kajsa Martynyuk led the way again this week with a top 20 finish while Dee Dee Sawan was close behind in the top 30. Rosa Parsons, Megan Riley and Leah Valentine were kept on course this time as they completed the team's top five scoring runners. Kate Fuller and Leah Valentine also bettered their times from last year on this course even in the mud! 

This Saturday, the team competes close to home at The Walsh Jesuit Invitational.  Be sure to come out and cheer the team on as they take on familiar Northeast Ohio rivals!
