‘Cats Crush Cross-Country Meet
On Wednesday, Aug. 31, the cross-country team faced Spotswood and Broadway at a meet in Natural Bridge. The Wildcats came in second. Spotswood took first and Broadway in third.
Senior Megan Timmes, senior Evan Roney, and senior Brian Kendall were some of the students in the races. Timmes placed first in her race. Roney placed fifth in his respective race. Kendall got fifth in his.
An interesting dynamic on Cross-Country is that siblings are sometimes together on the team. Sophomore Lydia Kendall said, “Because my brother is a senior, it was nice to see him finish.”
The next meet for the Cross-Country team is against Cave Spring. It is at Cave Spring High School in Roanoke. It will be held on Sept. 10 and begins at 7:00 a.m.
About the Writer
Taina Covington, Reporter
Taina Covington is the only Brazilian on the Prowler staff. It’s sad. She is a reporter in her sophomore year, although she would prefer ‘artist supreme’. Covington plans on doing comic strips for the Prowler, reporting on clubs and art, and having a decent excuse to ask her parents if she can attend football games. Y’know, so she can write recaps and totally not hang out with friends. Covington speaks three languages- sort of. Does doing Virtual Virginia French count? Her friends would describe her as ‘creative’, ‘energetic’ and ‘slightly crazy '. She often overworks herself. Somehow Covington still finds time to listen to her precious radio, watch Marvel (and the occasional anime film), play with her parakeets, and draw.
