L-K wraps up XC season, girls headed to regionals

Linden-Kildare cross country runners from the junior high, junior varsity and high school levels placed in the Top 10 at the district meet recently.

Coach Carla Hines had this to say about the effort.

“Our junior high runners have a very promising future ahead of them. The varsity Lady Tigers’ team advanced to regionals which will be held at the Jesse Owens Memorial Complex on Oct.28.
