JPII Cross Country

Sam had a cross country meet tonight at Saint Gabriels Church (Home Meet).  The meet was 3 laps around the Rec Center Socccer/Football field and then around the baseball field, while each lap was 1 mile in length. Sam finished somewhere in the low 20’s out of 38 boys so not too bad.  His first mile was just over 8 minutes which was pretty good.  There are only 5 boys on the JPII team and all of them are also on the soccer team, so when the Meet was over they went over to the soccer field for practice.  Weather permitting they should have a game tomorrow at home.
