Flint Hill Meet October 23
Two meets in the same week! Bobcats are on a roll with another great finish. Flint Hill invited us to compete in this non-league meet and we showed them what the Bobcats are made of.....No FEAR! This meet showcased our 7th and 8th grade superstars since our 4th, 5th, and 6th grade runners were off on field trips. A beautiful, warm day to run this course. Not as many hills as we are used to but a bit longer than our other meets at 2 miles. It was great to have a chance to run against other schools that are not in our competing league. The Bobcat boys and girls teams showed off their talents with a third place finish for the boys' team and a second place finish for the girls' team.

**Burgundy Farm Meet October 21**
The Bobcat growl was heard all through Burgundy's campus as we placed first in both boys and girls. Even though our 6th graders were off having fun on their overnight trip, the Bobcats took charge of this very tough course. Burgundy's course offers many different terrains from soccer field, narrow paths, mulch, leaves, dirt, fallen tree branches, to driveway. Hannah Smythe and Parker White lead the ladies with a great showing from Mila Lubeck and Elisa Davila. Our boys team was lead by Willie Edgerly, Patrick Coyne, and Alex Muldrow. Watch out for 4th graders, Dylan Hirt and Brian Gilday, lots of promise with these guys!



Episcopal Meet October 7
Great job Cross Country team! It was a beautiful day for a run! The sun was shining and the wind was blowing....maybe that is why we seemed to be so fast! The girls team took the win with an impressive showing! This strong girls' team was lead by a first and second place showing from Hannah Smythe and Ava Scott. This girls' team has some real talent and we look forward to seeing them all improve their times over the next few weeks and prepare for the Championships on November 5th.

The boys' team was edged out by 5 points from the Green Hedge's team to take the second place finish. Lead by Willie Edgerly and Patrick Coyne, this boys' team is a fierce one! Lots of enthusiasm and a thirst for a first place finish will take these boys far!

Great job Bobcats!
