The Mens' varsity XC team just served notice that they are legitimate contenders in the 1A race to the state championship this season. After placing 4 guys in the top 15 in a field of 247 runners, the guys' team placed 2nd  out of 32 schools at the Jungle Run at South View HS, one of the biggest invitational races of the season. Jeddy Waldon led the way finishing in a personal best time of 17:18, with Aaron Rovnak (17:29) Zach Bunner (17:33) and Jonathan Wertz (17:35) only seconds behind him. Rovnak had an impressive debut in his first big invitational with the fastest time for any incoming Patriot freshman. Caleb Robinson contributed to the team score with his 19:19 finish with Adan Rodriguez and Matthew Swchweikert rounding out the team.                     In the womens' race, Caitlyn Burkett battled the entire race with cross conference rival Tori Swepson of Research Triangle and Zoe Vestal of Cary Christian. In the end Swepson collapsed before reaching the finish and Caitlyn ended up 2nd behind Vestal with a new best time of 19:43. The womens' team ended up finishing in 7th place overall with another personal best run by Hannah Franklin (21:15) and solid runs by Leah Given, Anna Schulz, Nikkie Rafferty and Karrington Garland
