Running in a chilling breeze under a dark cloudy sky, the Orono Cross Country team competed in Litchfield against multiple other schools. Kicking the race off with the middle school runners and working through JV and up to Varsity, the team ran hard in the cold weather. Girls Varsity did very well, winning second place in the meet, and Boys Varsity got third.

They raced a five kilometer loop at Litchfield golf course, with supporters cheering from the sidelines. However, an increase in the number of supporters of the CC team would be highly appreciated and is very important to runners’ moral. The next Cross Country meet is on Tuesday, October 13, at Jordan High school. Additional details can be found on the team website. Please come and support Orono’s fantastic runners.
