They run every day, and some even run in the summer, Coach Stuart lsdale said. The team placed third in district competition, but were unable to compete at the regional meet. They weren't hungry to win, Coach lsdale said. Two of the cross country runners, however, were able to be the best and compete with the rest at Region. Both Ruben Ruiz, junior, and Roger Elizado, sophomore, qualified by placing third and fourth in District. We would have liked to have gone as a team, because everyone worked so hard and tried their best, Ruben said.
