Yesterday was a big day for the Foxcroft cross country team! Five athletes ran conference championship qualifying times, four achieved personal records, and four returning athletes ran their fastest race of the season. I'm so proud of the progress of our athletes and look forward to a promising season!

Foxcroft faced off against GPAC teams, as well as Christ Chapel Academy and the New Community School. Our top finisher was (once again!) Gwen E. '26, coming in 11th overall. Many athletes made incredible progress following Saturday's meet against St. James. Maddie R. '27 and Sandra R. '25 improved their times by about 2 minutes, Fiona J. '27 improved her time by an impressive 10 minutes! Although this meet does not count toward our overall GPAC record, I'm so impressed by the team's commitment to go out and work hard regardless. They really tested themselves and worked toward a better understanding of the sport. Thanks so much to the folks who came out and supported the team. Special thanks to Maddie B. '26's grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. R. for providing refreshments for the team. The girls (and coaches) were so grateful! I look forward to our meet next Tuesday at Darden Towe park, hosted by Tandem Friends School!

Our season is off to a great start with all of our athletes looking strong through a really tough race! New to FXC, Gwen E. '26, led the team with a 5th place finish overall, followed by Caroline W. '26 in 6th, Bronte B. '26 in 8th, Raquel R. '25 in 9th, and Sandra R. '25 in 10th! We're so grateful to the parents and community members who came out to support the team (the girls were thrilled for post-race snacks - thank you!) and we're all looking forward to our meet on Tuesday, 9/12 at Quantico!
