The teams are currently led by Lily Rumbo and Daniel Alva, who both impressed against large fields. Rumbo finished 8th out of 184 runners, while Alva placed 11th out of 181.

“Our boys and girls teams ran well, and both continue to show growth with each race,” said Head Coach Chris Moralez.

The Ingram Warrior Cross Country teams continued to show growth this past weekend against tough competition on a full 5K course.

For the girls, Lily Rumbo paced the team with a 16th-place finish out of 100 runners, averaging 6:45 per mile. All five Lady Warriors ran well and finished strong, improving from last week’s effort.

On the boys’ side, the Warriors placed 6th overall as a team. Daniel Alva Negrete led the way in 22nd place with a 5:58 pace, followed by Shaan Swisher in 27th (6:02 pace) and Jordan Reif in 36th (6:15 pace) out of 118 runners.

“Our runners are putting in the work and it’s showing,” said Head Coach Chris Moralez. “We had solid improvements across the board this week, and the kids are gaining confidence every time they line up. I’m proud of their effort and excited to see how they perform at home.”
