In its inaugural year, Valor Leander's Cross Country team started the season with a strong showing at the San Juan Diego XC Invitational. In particular, Adrian Guzman (8th) finished in 10th place (out of 165 runners) in the Boys Division (2 mile) with a time of 13:12.25, earning him a medal for the race.
On the girls side, Klaire Tompkins (6th) was the fastest Griffin, finishing in 42nd place (out of 113 runners) with a time of 18:35.89. Lillian Rodgers also had a great race, finishing in 19:51.37, which was the 13th fastest time of all 5th grade girls in the meet. Great job to all our runners!
The Griffins are back in action on Sep. 16 at the Speedster XC Classic in Austin.
