Bandera Middle School Cross Country by Coach Edwards
On Saturday, September 14, the Bandera Middle School Cross Country Team defended their home turf at the Bandera City Park. Bulldog runners squeezed onto the starting line with about 200 runners in each of the two races. Our bulldogs performed well, overcoming the crowded course, the heat, and many larger schools. Our next meet is in Fredericksburg on Wednesday, September 18. Please come out and support our middle and high school cross country teams. We are one!
7th grade boys - 2nd place
8th grade boys - 5th place
8th grade girls - 2nd place
Several of our runners dropped minutes off of their personal record times.
On Wednesday, September 18, Bandera Middle School Cross Country returned from Fredericksburg with 3 undefeated teams! Unfortunately, after the 8th grade boys race (which was shortened to 1 ½ miles), Fredericksburg was forced to cancel the meet. Several runners in the high school races experienced complications due to the heat, hydration, and other factors that required EMS personnel to take them to the emergency room. For the safety of all of the athletes, Fredericksburg authorities wisely chose not to run the last 3 races. Our next meet is in Comfort on Saturday, September 28. Please come out and support our middle cross country teams. We are one!
