The WCHS Men’s and Women’s Cross Country team raced in the Class 3 Virginia Cross Country Meet at Green Hill Park, in Salem, Virginia, on Saturday, November 16, 2019. Wildcats’ DJ Staton finished the race in 12th place overall and earning All-State honors. Warren County girls Kiersten Tanner, Ryleigh Breeden, and Leah Webster also competed and placed in the top 50 finishers in the state meet on Saturday.
Kiersten Tanner, a senior at WCHS, competed in her last high school cross country race. “The saying, ‘struggle well’, is a good quote for the State Meet, stated Tanner. “I might not have had the best race like I wanted, but I struggled and I struggled well. I gave it my everything, knowing it was my last race and knowing I worked hard to get there. It was a great experience. I am so blessed to have fun and get the experience one last time. I wouldn’t be where I am in my running career today without my dad and coach, Mike Tanner. He has pushed me and taught me to struggle well. To fight and to be tough.”
