The RHS Boys Cross Country team continued to impress after placing second in the Caldwell Invitational Meet on Saturday. The girls had an impressive showing as well with each runner recording a new personal record.

For the boys’ team, Jesus Bocanegra placed second with a time of 17:54. Cristo Hernandez finished in seventh at 18:13. Yovanney Delgadillo finished in 11th at 18:20. Chris Perez finished 15th at 18:30. Jose Tenorio placed 18th at 18:50, while Diego Garza was 52nd at 26:11.

“The boys did amazing, even though they didn’t get the win this week,” Head Coach Cheryl Meuth said. “They beat out several tough schools, and only lost to Katy Jordan by a few points. We have lots to work on, but both teams are extremely committed and wanting to work even harder for our upcoming McGregor meet.
“The girls performed great and all dropped their times,” she said. “One thing we are working on this week is fixing our first mile pace to help set them up better to maintain through mile two.”
The team look to continue their great performances as they prepare to compete in the McGregor Invitation
