Congratulations to our girl's cross country team on their successes this week! At the Kent Denver Triangular, Kenzie Pullar and Anika Bagal led for the Lady Lions with Sydney Sheldon, Scarlett Montoya,McAllister Stewart, Catherine May, and Rylee Berger finishing with a perfect score of 15! That is a rarity, and we are so proud! Sophia Sheldon led for the Lady Lions at the Rebel Invite while Morgan Kelly put in a gritty run in the heat. Lane Greenly, Elianajoy Volin, and Holly Burns rounded out the squad at Clement Park. And our open girls raced strong at the South Jeffco #5 meet hosted by Bear Creek with amazing runs from Cat Dutmer, Colletta Schiller, Nina Marshall, and Eve Raynor. Way to go, Lions!

The boys cross country team dominated the Kent Denver Triangular with Grady Redding and Cooper Brown finishing first and second overall. Dan Lamey, Sawyer Gannon, Luke Suro, and Oli Garnica formed a tight pack that broke up only as they neared the finish while Trevor Metz showed his grit along the hilly course. Cameron Graham and Kaiden Hamilton were one-two for the Lions at the Rebel Invite finishing within a second of one another with Howie Marshall, Chris Jonsen, and Ethan Pfister also navigating the course around Clement Park. At the South Jeffco #5 meet, Littleton again crushed it with Karsten Beich, Will Grenawalt, Lars Romine and Owen Goldberg leading the way. Well done, gents!
