STORMIN' TO THE TITLE
Rams Win Varsity, JV Sectionals
1st Varsity Crown Since '02

Exactly 5 years ago in 2002, the Prep won the Sectionals after having been ranked as low as 9th in the league polls.  And just as in '02, the Prep was ranked 9th this season, and entered the sectionals as a contender, but not a favorite to win.  And as in '02, the kids came through with convincing wins.   Add in impressive times in a torrential downpour, and you have one of the more outstanding team performances in recent Prep XC history.

The JV were mudders too, repeating as sectional champs (it was our 4th straight) behind Chris Cavanaugh's 1st place finish. 
The Frosh ran solid as well, placing 5th as we did last year.
