“I was happy with our team scoring up against the bigger schools,” said St. Edmond head coach Liz Flattery. “It’s good competing against some of the top runners to help push our girls until districts. Our times could have been better in a few of our relays, but the girls ran well for the most part.

“I’m excited to get our girls in some events we will run at Hampton Friday, so we can see where we really do place with the time slots.”
