The girls cross country team won the HVAL Championship, while the boys team took home 3rd place honors. Up next NEPSTA Championships.
The Wooster School Varsity Cross Country Girls team won the 2018 Housatonic Valley Athletic League (HVAL) Championship. They ran a phenomenal race from start to finish. 7th grader Amelia Vail is the HVAL individual champion! She was followed closely by 8th grader Cara Costigan and senior Julia Bauer. All three earned top ten honors. The team win wouldn’t have been possible without the hard work of Ingrid Li and Hailey Looney.
The Varsity Cross Country Boys Team earned a third place finish in the HVAL Championship. They were led by Sophomore Luca Segalla (who earned a top 10 finish and ran a personal best of 18:39). The scoring members of the boys team were Luca Segalla, Braden Langis, Vlad Schwindeman-Romano, Jonathane Bernardez, and Chris Strilowich.
