Saturday, October 30, Santa Fe hosted the state championship for Cross Country. The Lady Wolves competed for the state title. 

Santa Fe girls placed eighth in the state with a total of 198 points. Only freshman Maxton Barker and Sophomore Jack Sydnes ran for the boys cross country team.

Around  8:30 AM, the girls started for their run.

It was Freshman Natalie Duggan’s first time competing in the state competition.

“There’s a lot of good girls in team, everyone is super sweet,” Natalie Duggan said.“Sometimes they goof off a bit and I think we could have done better if they really tried. But for the most part, everyone has a lot of potential.”

This is the last cross country competition in this season.

“A lot of people did very well, it happened like everyone expected it to. It is my first year going to state, it was really fun. Just being out there and getting to run for the school against basically the best people in the state was quite fun.” Duggan said.
