A strong day in Alabama for !
The West Dragons made their first-ever trip to Moulton today for the Chickasaw Invitational and got exactly what we came for, a chance to race against some tough regional competition.
And this was packed, with 338 girls and 442 boys competed in the Junior High races, with 20 girls teams and 28 boys teams represented.
Our West Dragons are a 6th–8th grade middle school team, while the Alabama Junior High division includes 7th–9th graders, so several of our runners were lining up against athletes a grade or two older.
The West girls finished 4th overall out of 20 teams!
Sixth grader Leah Wright led the West girls with a big race, finishing 26th overall in 14:34.43. Cora Schatz followed in 39th at 15:01.39, Alayna Adamski was 52nd at 15:28.45, Isabella Whitby finished 57th at 15:40.96, and sixth grader Julieta Martinez-Trevino rounded out West's five scoring runners in 72nd at 15:51.65.
The West boys finished 8th overall out of 28 teams, led by a huge race from Noah Bryant, who finished 7th overall in 11:29.05 and earned his way to the platform!
Benny Evans was next for West in 55th at 13:01.01, followed by Ramon Cuesta in 79th at 13:31.86 and Logan Case in 85th at 13:34.54. Sixth grader Colter Craven rounded out the five scoring runners, finishing 150th in 14:28.45.
Proud of this group for making their first trip to Chickasaw, stepping up against older competition, and representing Collierville well.
4th out of 20 for the girls and 8th out of 28 for the boys against a field like this, couldn't be more prouder.
