Raiders finish 7th at "Run at the Rock" Invitational

The Boys Cross Country team traveled to Cartersville on Saturday, September 6, 2014 to participate in Woodland High School's 8th Annual Run at the Rock Invitational. The "Rock" is a very steep hill in the second mile of the course.
 
The Varsity boys finished 7th out of 20 teams; however, the results were so tightly clustered that the Raiders were within striking distance of 3rd place. Senior Owen McDaniel ran 17:30 to finish 5th overall. Rounding out the Raider pack were Alec Nathan (19:20, 30th), Luis Zambrano (19:27, 36th), Ben Shaw (19:34, 28th), Willie Herrigel (20:06, 49th), and Bayne Jarvis & Andrew Ungashick.
 
The JV team finished 3rd, only 18 points from a 2nd place trophy.  Leading the way was Adil Rarbaje (6th overall in 20:09) and Mark Shutley (7th overall in 20:12). Others scoring for the JV included Reece Bernard, Benny Soran, Alex Hamer, Ari Soran, and Eli Rosner. Almost all runners ran their fastest times of the season, with Jamie Prentice having the biggest improvement from the first meet.
