It was a great day for EM XC today! A big congratulations to Addilyn, Bennett, Jacob, Sophia, Mackenzie, Brock, Anderson, and Landan. Our JH athletes had their first meet today and competed well. Addilyn Loparco took 3rd overall for girls. Jacob Rasmussen took 13th overall for boys. Our HS athletes ran so well that they took 2-4 minutes off their time from Tuesday! Every athlete set a PR today. As coaches, we are extremely proud of these kids and can't wait to see what they do at their next meet.

Wishing our staff, families, and community a happy Labor Day weekend! Remember, there will be no school on Monday, Sept. 1st — we’re grateful for all you do to support and inspire our students!
