What a season for our Coyote Cross Country program! From countless personal bests and breakthrough performances to district championships and having both our boys and girls qualify for regionals, there is so much to celebrate!

🧡 Our Girls: We couldn’t be prouder of how our young squad competed today! With a roster made up heavily of freshmen and all returning next year, these girls have shown tremendous growth, determination, and potential. The future of our girls’ program is incredibly bright, and we’re excited to watch them continue to develop and build on this season!

🧡 Our Boys: An unfortunate incident involving our lead runner at the start of today’s race significantly impacted our team score and what we believe could have been a top-eight finish. Nevertheless, we are extremely proud of this group and the maturity, commitment, and work ethic they’ve displayed all season. These boys have something special, and their dedication to one another and this program has been remarkable.

To our seniors, JJ, Devaughn, and Israel, thank you for everything you’ve poured into this program. Your leadership, commitment, and contributions have left a lasting impact, and we are sad to see you go!

To our returning Coyotes, the work continues! We’re excited for another opportunity to compete, grow, and chase that trip to STATE!

Thank you to all our athletes for another memorable season. We couldn’t be prouder of everything you’ve accomplished and the way you’ve represented Alice!

Until next season, Coyotes! 🧡🤍🐾
