Regional Champs! Our Irish runners had a strong race day Saturday, taking home both Regional team Championships to advance to the Geneseo Sectional... We believe this is just the second time that both teams won Regionals in the same season, with 2011 being the other.
Max Kirby and Lillian Chaddock took home the individual crowns and set new course records in the process!
Way to go Irish! Now back on task for Sectionals!
