Southlake, TX - The Charger Cross Country programs wrapped up their 2022 season with an impressive 24 runners registering personal records at the District 4-6A meet. The meet took place on a very fast Bob Jones Park course and sophomore
Jaya Conmy led the way for the girl's program, running a PR of 19:05 and finishing 20th overall. Junior
Angelina Vidal joined Conmy with a Sub-20 minute time coming in a 19:30, and finishing 31st overall. The team finished 6th and the future looks bright for the Chargers as several underclassmen played key roles and the program loses no runners to graduation.
On the boy's side of things,
Josh Chikosha wrapped up his career as a Charger with a time of 16:15, averaging 5:13 per mile and finished 17th individually. As the Chargers thanked Chikosha for his commitment to the program over the last four years, freshmen
Austin Bell represented the future as he ran a time of 16:56, second best for the program, and finished 30th. Bell was followed closely by sophomore
Liam Galegher who finished 36th with a time of 17:12. The Chargers also bid farewell to senior
Declan Jones who finished inside the top 40 with a time of 17:32.
Head Cross Country Coach Emily Russell noted that "our district is full of incredibly talented athletes, many of whom will no doubt qualify for the state meet in the future." Russell added "our team is young, but rose to the occasion of facing top talent by setting 24 personal records at the district meet. I'm extremely proud of our freshmen and sophomores who were put in the position of running varsity with very little experience at racing a 5K. I am also grateful to our two seniors,
Josh Chikosha and
Declan Jones, who have led our program by example and shown our underclassmen how to be a member of the Charger Distance Crew."
