Notice: If you like to run then you should definitely sign up next year.
This year the Andover Middle School cross country race was on Oct. 18. Doherty Middle, the expected winner (who normally does win), did the usual and won.
Wood Hill showed up with about 25 runners. The most we have ever shown up with is 28 people so 25 is pretty good. Doherty however typically shows up with a solid 100-125 racers every year. This puts Wood Hill at a huge disadvantage because we are already down 75-100 people.
These races are won by the amount of points you gain. A win is a certain amount of points second, third and so forth. Doherty fields runners in every race so they have a better chance at winning because they have more people. With a smaller group of participants Wood Hill or West Middle often comes in second and third place.
The Gazette would like to give a big shout out to all of the Wood Hill students who ran. Nice job runners you did an amazing job!
