(Fri Sep 30)  The John Paul Cross Country team traveled to Woodberry Forest School to compete in the Woodberry Forest 46th Annual Cross Country Invitational.  The race times were moved earlier in the day to avoid the potential remnants of Hurricane Ian but that did not affect the JP Harriers.  The boys team, led by Juniors James Bertram and Matthew Elliott, and Sophomore Austin Colvin who finished in the 20th, 21st, and 26th place, paced the team to a fourth place finish out of 24 teams competing.  Senior James Hurley and Freshman Jonah Berkey rounded out the JP top five for the boys Varsity team.  In the girls race, solid performances were turned in by Senior Sarah Dake and Sophomores Brooke Ortega, Missy Petras, and Helena Fry and Junior Isabella Alicea, to round out the girls JP top five in this race.  JP will return to Woodberry Forest in Nov for the VISAA State Championships.  Next up for the team is the VCAC meet #2 at Burke Lake on Tuesday Oct 4.
