PCA Cross Country Teams Sweep State Championship!!!

PCA Boys and Girls Cross Country teams won the AISA Cross Country State title in October 2011.  Coached by Jason Roberson, both teams practiced in the grueling August and September heat to prepare for the state competition.  Although they each won head to head meets during the season, the state meet was particularly tough. Senior Aaron  West placed  2nd in state  with a time of  18:57, followed by 10th grader Nathan Graham  in 5th with a time of  19:05,  10th grader Logan Hanners in 7th at 19:17, and freshman Paul Ewing  in 8th place  with a time of 19:18. The boys team was  captained by Nathan Graham and Evan McCullers.  Mitchell Davis, a PCA eighth grader, also competed and finished in 11th place.The PCA girls Cross Country team, returning as the 2010 AISA State Champs, had a strong showing as well. Sarah Bertram, a junior,  finished 3rd in the state  with a time of 21:04, followed by A'liah Poole in  4th at 21:36, 9th grader  Ansley Story  in 5th  place at 21:38, and 9th grader Maddie Thompson in 10th  place with a time of 22:36.  The girls team was captained by Sarah Bertram , and also included Laura Story, Lauren Davis, and Kirsten Basso with strong completion times. Congratulations to both teams!
