CAPTION: The boys varsity cross country team warms up together before a race.
As the team traveled to Corpus Christi to compete in the humid morning weather this last weekend, they went in with the mentality that despite the circumstances they were facing, they were going to give it there all.
“We were all sick and our result turned out bad. As a team we made 356 points. We did not play the way we wanted to,” Senior Nehemiah Pineda said.
Despite this rough meet in Corpus, the team rallied and had a solid performance at the district meet, keeping their eyes on making it back to state. The Varsity boys and Varsity girls both placed 3rd and qualified for the Regional meet taking place this Saturday back in Corpus Christi.
With their performance at district, the Huskies are determined to make it to state this year.
“Our goal for this season is to qualify for state and be top three as a team,” Pineda said.
Even with the success at district, the team believes that there are always ways to improve and better themselves.
“I have been working for the past few years to reach this point and I am finally here, but there is plenty of room for improvement,”` junior Phillip Garcia said.
