Somersfield Runners Shine at BSSF Middle School Cross Country Championship
Our middle school cross country team put in an outstanding effort at the BSSF Championship at the Arboretum. The U13 girls, led by Evelyn Fahy (3rd) and Elena Bortoli (4th), ran a strong race, while the U13 boys claimed a well-earned bronze medal. The O13 girls showed determination in an unfamiliar sport, and the O13 boys narrowly missed the podium, finishing just 4 points shy. A huge thank you to our supportive parents and coach Vivienne Lochhead!

In the house competition, the Makos triumphed over the Tigers in total points.
