🏃♂️ Lions showed great improvement in teamwork and sportsmanship at their 2nd cross country meet! 🌟 We’re proud of the effort and encouragement our runners gave one another throughout the race. A special shoutout to Gage for finishing 3rd in the 2-mile run! He ran so hard at the end that one of his shoes couldn't keep up. 🙌💙 #LionPride #Teamwork #Sportsmanship
