Congratulations to Herrick Middle School for making history by sweeping the cross country conference title!
Herrick's seventh and eighth grade boys' and girls' cross country teams all took first place. This is the first time that all four Herrick cross country teams won the conference championship in the same season.
“The team was an extremely dedicated and hard working group of athletes with great eighth grade leadership during workouts,” said Mary Lueck, one of Herrick’s cross country coaches.
In addition, Herrick seventh grader Melissa Jachim placed first at the Franklin Invitational meet in Wheaton earlier this season. This elite meet invites the most talented runners to compete.
“Melissa’s first place finish was a first in the history of Herrick’s girls’ team,” Lueck added.
O'Neill Middle School also finished strong this season, with eighth grader Kennedy Warden taking first place in the race.
Congratulations!
