Area runners are preparing for the upcoming season. The previous year's regional and state meets saw several local athletes qualify. This trend is expected to continue in the new season.

Motivation is high among returning athletes, particularly after the district meet results. A local program had a notable performance, with the girls team finishing as runners-up and the boys team coming in third. Further information about the cross country season and local teams can be found in the Cross Timbers Gazette, including details about the Liberty Christian cross country program and its outlook for the new season.
