Knights XC finds success while hosting SCAC meet

ROYAL CITY — The Royal Knights cross country team hosted a late season South Central Athletic Conference meet at Royal City Golf Course Wednesday afternoon. The team competed hard with the boys finishing in third and the girls taking second in their 5k runs. “It was a really tough race, it’s hot and there’s hills,” said Knights senior Valierie Rodriguez. “Overall we did good as a team. We tried to stick together towards the beginning; later on we faltered a little bit, but we still finished strong and gave it what we’ve got.” The Knights girls squad scored 46 points to take second as a team and stayed just ahead of College Place, who took third with 47 points.
