The Cross Country team dominated the Fast Cats Classic over the weekend as Yared Nuguse and Alena Sapienza-Wright won the Mens’ and Womens’ races, respectively. This week the Crimsons will have two races as they head into the back-stretch of the season. The JV 4k will take place at Tom Sawyer Park on Oct. 11 and the Varsity team will race in the Lexington Catholic Invitational on Oct. 15 and the Kentucky Horse Park.
