Crosscountry team has good run

It is one of those things that a program does when it is one of the best in the state. They head out and find the best meets to compete in. On this day it was the Lucas Lovejoy Crosscountry Fall Festival. Dripping Springs headed up that way with twenty runners to take on competition that included nine of last year's top ten teams. They would enter the boys and girls elite 5K division and both came away with fourth place finishes. Medals were given to the top 20 finishers in each division with Karsten Bobb and Brant Melton earning one. There were 147 racers in the girls division and 196 boys. Below is the result of those races.
