The Cross Country teams traveled to Huntsville, Alabama to compete in The Southern Showcase last weekend. The girls team competed in the Championship Division and the boys team split between the Championship Division and Blue Division. Top runners were Kaden Pease and Lorelai Whitten for the Spartans. It was a good test for our runners as they are at the half way point of their season.

It was Senior Night for Summit. The team recognized seniors Summer Riley, Caroline Lewis, Reagan Franse, Ava Sweere, Naomi Herrold and Sophia Elrod. The Spartans move to 7-3 on the season and have 4 games remaining in the regular season. They will travel to Page to take on a tough Patriots team tonight at 6:30pm.

Mia Hamm was perhaps the world's greatest female soccer player of her era, scoring more goals in international competition than any other player, male or female. Hamm led three American teams to Olympic medals, and in the United States she helped bring women's soccer into the spotlight in the 1990s, becoming the most recognizable face of the sport and encouraging a generation of American girls to play the game.
