SIDNEY RAIDER
CROSS COUNTRY

Once again we had a very large team. There were 96 runners, who competed at 15 various meets throughout the season. 30 were middle school runners and we had 66 high school runners. We are losing one of our largest senior classes to graduate from our program.

We took two teams to middle school State Cross Country in Papillion again this year. The girls  team placed 24 out of 29 teams. The boys placed 24 out of 33 teams. It is always fun to take them to a BIG meet and let them feel the pressures of a state meet before they compete in high school. They worked hard all season and knew the top 7 boys and girls would get to make the trip.

Our season by the numbers is:

•96  runners, 74 medals earned (91 if you count the Survivor Champions), 25 freshmen, 23 letter winners, 20 seniors (six were 6 year runners), 19 8th graders, 14 meets, 12 juniors, 11 7th graders, 7 sophomores, 6 coaches, 6 managers, 2 district medals, 1 state medal
