Another big congratulations to the LHS Cross Country Team! The team took on a very rigorous course at Snow Mountain Ranch on Saturday with some great results! Senior Addi Iken crushed it again, winning the girl's race! Way to go, Addi! Overall, the girls scored fourth, which is a huge accomplishment, as this is the most challenging race of the season.
On our boys team, junior Christian Sapakoff scored second in the boys race! Great job Christian! The boys finished second overall! A big congratulations to them! Runners all around improved greatly on their times from last year, and showed some solid pack running!
