Cross Country
The Eagles ran very well in their final cross country race before the league championships in two weeks. Ryan Adolf, grade 12, again led the Eagles at Baylands Park as he and Aditya Singhvi, grade 10 , both finished in the top 20 for the first time this year. Freshmen Ritika Rajamani and Erica Cai were the top two Eagle varsity girl runners, both running times that may qualify for the CCS Championships in three weeks. (Courtesy Coach Scott Chisam.)
