This upcoming Fall 2013 season the Girls team will be coming off a nice season as Rachel Preeg and Kyra Ortiz dominated at NCS in Hayward. Preeg and Ortiz finished ahead of all DVAL runners including the #1 Runner of College Park, missing State qualification by just 1 and 2 places. Returning cast includes Kyra Ortiz, Sarah Carrico, Lawren Wardle, Riley Travers, Katie Mayhew, Christi Kelley, Lynette Cox, Roxana Benavidez, Elisse Martinez, Katilyn Dimech, Sierra Sleight, Trisha Rodriguez and many more. The Lady Eagles plan to lead the way for our Cross Country team of Clayton Valley Charter High School.
All of the Ladies have wonderful personalities, work hard, and have something to prove. It's going to be an exciting season for Lady Eagles Cross Country!!!
In Cross Country, you'll develop strong friendships, believe in yourself like never before, and realize an endearing passion running for your teammates and your friends. This is your chance to do something that you'll remember for the rest of your lives. Being on a team, caring for one another, and getting better together. There's no better feeling than every day, looking in the eyes of your teammates, fellow runners, and friends, and knowing that they have your back all the time in any situation.
"We have fun, it's great! It's just exciting!"--Rachel Preeg

"Exercise is known to increase Oxygen to the brain. Enough exercise releases Endorphins into the Body, which increases productive output while creating what is known as Runner's High. This effect stimulates higher brain learning"
