“The Frosh/Soph Girls got us off to a great start winning the team race, having an individual champion, topping it off with each girl medaling. Brady followed suit in the Frosh/Soph Boys’ race gathering the last medal there. The Varsity Girls competed hard and Augustus had another strong race for the Varsity Boys just missing a medal, but running perhaps his best race of the season. All in all a good day for PHS cross country,” said Coach Pat Hodge
