The Liberty Hill High School cross country teams ran under “Frday Night Lights” of their own as they participated in the multi-team, multi-level Brushy Creek Sunset Relays Friday (Sept. 3) at Vista Ridge High School.

“This meet was another ‘relay’ event,” explained LHHS Coach Kim Holt. “It consisted of teams of three runners each and each person ran 1.5 miles. The kids did a great job.”

The Panthers and Lady Panthers did extremely well. The varsity Lady Panthers grabbed first place (that team ran a time of 29 minutes and three seconds), second (30:37) and fourth (32:26) in the Varsity Girls’ division; first (24:16) and second (25:02) in the Varsity Boys’ division; and, second (28:16) and third (30:53) in the JV Boys’ division.

The next event for the cross country team will be a meet this Saturday in Llano.
