The girls team was led by Freshman Abbi Frost, whose time of 20:52 was good for 57th overall.

We had four senior runners competing in the last cross-country race for Northridge High School. We can’t say enough about Ehren Carl, Rhys Pollard, Asher Garaway, and Tatum Kinsey. Each one has competed for multiple years with our team, served as a team captain this past year, and have meant so much to our program.

We’ll have the majority of our runners back this next year, and look to do great things. We will also have senior competing at the JV State meet next week. We’ll celebrate all our seniors and everyone’s accomplishments from this past season at the team banquet on November 8, 2023.
