Bulldog Invitational

At the Bulldog Invitational on Thursday, September 18, all of the Chiefs took advantage of their hard training, great weather, and a fast course by setting new personal records.

The Chiefs quickly turned around and headed to the Release the Hounds Invitational in Jones County on Saturday, September 20. After a long wait in the sun Saturday morning, Chiefs Cross Country persevered through a tough course. Champ Sharpton took 3rd and Majid Nail Shaibi placed 11th for their best finishes of the season. Gabe Renteria, Ben Ramsey, Michael Morgan, Kade Swancey, Gunner Teston, Zoey Achenbach, Janie Beck, and Abigail Vassey all continued to ‘rep the V’ with pride and grit.
