The Varsity Boys Cross Country team prepares for a meet at Walnut Grove. With the extreme heat, the runners focused on their physical preparation so they could perform their best. “Us, as runners, cant control the weather or the conditions we run in, so all we can do is prepare for them,” junior Piercze Marshall said. “The number one most important thing to do the day before and day of the race is to hydrate. By being hydrated, I prevented cramps, being more tired than usual, and heat-exhaustion like we saw happen to other runners.”

A hot start

Juniors Garrett Wilcoxen and Braedyn Thompson and seniors Emma Cavalier and Danny Baron worked for a week to create their winning barrilete. Their class periods were filled with drawing, cutting and painting. “To construct our barrilete, we first had to start with the most fitting theme,” Cavalier said. “We agreed upon a skeleton mariachi themed barrilete because it has many components that represent El Día de los Muertos.”
