“Bel Air has a very good history of cross country success in previous years,” said Coach Andrews. “I expect that same success this year and I am optimistic about how the team will finish the season. We have a lot of determination as a team and that will help guide us to success. My main goal for the team is, however, that we finish happy and health. I think that the runners will perform to their utmost abilities and have no regrets once the season comes to a conclusion.”

 The cross country team will compete next at the Bull Run in Hereford on Saturday, September 22nd.
