Today was a fantastic day for Belpre XC at the Division III District Championships at the University of Rio Grande. Senior Maddie Sprigg qualified for the regional meet running her best time ever and finishing in 20th place overall. The HS boys team had an equally impressive finish as they earned the title of District Runner-Up and advance to next week’s regional meet even without their number one runner, Blake Rodgers. Freshmen Carter Norman and Johnny Miller earned all district honors with their 12th and 16th place finishes, respectively. Junior captain Nick Diaz and freshmen Austin Jenkins and Michael Bills, junior Evan Vowls, and senior Sonny Britton also contributed to the great team effort. Junior Trista Harpold had a great race today as well to finish out her season. The regional qualifiers will compete next Saturday, 10/30, at 9:00a.m. (boys) and 10:00a.m. (Maddie) at Pickerington North High School.
