X-Country quick off the starting line

The JM Cross Country team has been training all summer and looks readier then ever to take state with solid girls' and boys' teams. Both teams performed well at their first meet this past Saturday in American Fork. The main event of the meet was a relay with a boys' varsity relay team consisting of Parker Mildenhall, Max Lamb, Frank Barrows, Luke Puskedra, and John Foye and a girls team consisting of Lindsay Baker, Elli McMillan, Emma Welch, Lizzie Hindert and Hailey Knettles. The boys finished 4th in the meet and first among the 3A teams. The girls finished 9th in the meet and second among the 3A teams. Says head coach Mattie Reed, "What a great way to start our season!"
