On Oct. 22, the girls cross country team raced at Hilliard Darby High School for the district race at 4 p.m.

   This was the first race to qualify into the rest of the postseason, which decides whether or not the team will advance to regionals at Pickerington North Saturday, Oct. 29. The girls team did not place in the top five for team scores and will not be in attendance at the meet next weekend.

   “Districts went well, although I wish the whole team had made it through. I’ve had a lot of fun this year, and I was looking forward to going further with them,” Grace Heitkamp ‘25 said.

   Heitkamp qualified for the state meet, as she placed 10th in the regional meet.  The top 20 runners will advance and she will be among the competitors on Sat., Nov. 5 in Obetz. She is set to race at 3:45 p.m.
