Cougars to run at State meet

The Region IV Cross Country meet, held at Brooks City Base today, resulted in two Cougars qualifying for the State meet next weekend in Round Rock!  Shantel Swift (11:49.2) placed 9th in the girls 5A 2 mile race, and David Scorcelletti (16.04.8) was 8th in the boys 5k race.  The top 10 individuals and top 3 teams move on to State.  Just missing the trip north with great runs were Glynnis Meade (11:58.4), 11th and Jose Sierra (16:25.0), 12th in their respective races, and the boys team finished an amazing but heartbreaking 4th place.  The girls scoring was wrapped up by Stacey Wilkens (13.08.4), Katherine Ritchie (13:31.1) and Shaneve Swift (13:35.3), and the boys by Austin Wells (16:36.2) – who was 17th, plus James Leopold (17:12.0), and Ryan Pavlich (17:35.8).  The girls team finished 12th.  Congratulations to all for a great season, and best wishes to Shantel and David at State!
