A special congratulations to 6th grade, Finn R., who was the Cross Country SPL Conference Champion for the second consecutive year.
 
All of the SIJ students on the team trained hard and improved their racing times throughout the season.  And, they had a lot of fun!  We had a record number of participants this year and would like to build on that for next year.  Please consider joining the SIJ Cross Country team next fall!
