Delta High makes its mark at Regionals

The Delta High Cross Country team is sending four runners on to State. Abigail Skywatcher came in first in the D2 girls followed by Rosanna Holbrook who came in 6th. Eli Rothe came in 5th in the D2 Boys, followed by Axel Anderson, who came in 15th. All four qualified for State.

James Brook, while he did not qualify for state as he came in 17th, still broke his personal record by about two minutes!

A great meet all around for our five participants. State is at Bartlett High School this coming weekend.
