After the race, Green River’s head cross country coach Craig Leavitt commented: “The girls ran awesome. They are of to a great start.”
They had an almost perfect score in the meet, according to Levinson, taking second through sixth place, with a perfect score being first thru fifth.
Coach Leavitt went on to say: “Our entire girls varsity team has returned from last year and it is definitely showing in their performances.” He further stated that “they worked hard over the last year and are ready to compete.” Leavitt feels that “this is one of the hardest working girls team I have ever had the privilege of coaching.”
Coach Levitt also felt that the boys are off to a good star with Nathan taking second place. The coach felt that Shay O’Melia ran particularly well.
Leavitt did observe that they did not have their full varsity boys team attending this meet and that he was impressed with the new boys and felt they are also off to a good start.
