The boys cross country team won the district meet Friday for the eighth consecutive year.
“We held up our tradition, and did well as a team,” senior Mesa Allison said. “Some of the individuals didn’t do as well as we wanted to do, including me, but as a whole we worked well together staying in a pack.”
Allison was named district champion with a time of 16:34.
“Senior year wise, it felt good to be district champ,” Allison said. “It’s the kind of thing of no regrets. It was what I wanted to do. I didn’t want to get second senior year.”
Canyon will travel to Lubbock to compete in the Region 1-AAAA cross country meet at Mae Simmons Park this Saturday.
“We have a chance of going to state, but there are six other teams in region that are right with us,” Allison said. “They are pretty much copies of our team with a lead runner and strong pack.”
