I can's say enough about what an awesome accomplishment winning both a boys and girls state championship in the same season is. This is a reflection of our entire TEAM's hard work, commitment, and dedication. Not just the 7 boys and 7 girls that ran the race. All season you pushed each other to be our collective best, and it paid off in a big way on Saturday. Well done!

Now our focus changes to prep for NXRSW, but please know we are proud of all 110 members of our TEAM and everyones contribution to Vista Nation.
