Week #11 - Senior Cross Country Runners Honored at Last 'Home Meet'

The Varsity Cross Country team hosted a final 'home' meet, the Tandem Invitational, at Darden Towe on Tuesday, October 20 (see details in last week's Friday Letter - boys team won, girls team placed 2nd). After the races, the team, their families and fans gathered to honor the seniors on the team - nine of them! Coach Jason Farr spoke about the team with great devotion and humor and each player received a handmade poster signed by their fellow players. Senior runners honored, with a combined 58 years at Tandem, were: Victoria D, Lucy L, Hayes B, Miles G, Jack J, Zeke L, Peter W, Alexander K, and Jude G. Family photos were taken and runners will be honored individually at the annual Cross Country celebration, this year on November 16. Congratulations to this terrific group of Tandem student athletes - they have won countless state, conference and individual titles.
