Kathleen: Clark Prep Cross Country @ the Crescent City Fall Classic!

Last Saturday, November 10 Clark Prep’s Cross Country Team participated in the Crescent City Fall Classic!  The Crescent City Fall Classic started and ended at Tad Gormley Stadium in City Park. This 5K, or 3.1 mile, race started at 8:30 a.m.  When our runners finished they bested their personal goals; freshman Mariah H. even placed first in her age group! The race welcomed younger age-group turn out by offering age-specific prizes and cash grants to schools with the highest number of students competing in the race.

The Crescent City Fall Classic encourages students starting at age 12, but adult runners participate as well. Staff from Clark Prep, Green and friends of Clark Prep ran with the Cross Country team. Everyone is so proud of the team’s results and we're hoping to have our runners race in the 10K Crescent City Classic in March as well. The March race takes place on Saturday, March 30.  Says coach Darcy McKinnon, "Cross Country is about perseverance and pride.  Congratulations to the Bulldogs who showed the discipline and joy to make it through the race!"  Keep working hard and GREAT JOB, Bulldogs!
