The Sentinel Cross Country teams hosted Lisle and Plano last night for their final home meet. The Sentinels turned in outstanding races, setting several career-best times on the home course! The girls' team of Lizzy Szynal, Mikayla Hickey, Abby Strohmaier, Annikah Engstrom and Callie Devine swept the first five spots overall in their race to score a perfect 15 points and pick up two wins! In the boys race, Tim Rosland, Henry O'Connor, Kaleb Sica, and Paul Tikhiy took four of the first six places and Quentin Jarlson crushed his PR on the home course by over two minutes to secure the win over Lisle and Plano! Great job, Sentinels!
Thank you and have a great day!
