The John Paul Cross Country team traveled to Burke Lake Park this past Saturday to compete in the Monroe Parker Invitational Cross Country Meet. In the Boys Varsity Race, the Wolf Harriers finished in 5th place overall and were the first non-public school.  Leading the boys team to this highest place ever were Seniors Elijah Thompson and Austin Colvin who finished in 25th and 29th place overall.  Juniors Louis Dobson and Jacob Thompson and Sophomore David Hurley rounded out the top five scores for the Wolves. In the Girls Varsity Race, the Lady Wolves finished in 19th, an improvement upon last year’s finish, and were led by Senior Catherine Stoeter and Sophomore Alyssa McCoppin who finished in 59th and 78th overall. Juniors Gianna Albanese and Margaret Dake and Senior Virginia Holloway rounded out the top 5 scores for the Lady Wolves. The team had many personal best times for this course and had some strong performances in this early season meet. Next up for the XC team is our first home meet on the season, the JP Chaplain Invite.
