Eighteen student athletes from St. Mary’s School competed at the cross country ASAA zone meet in challenging conditions last Wednesday.

“We had students from Grade 7-12 who braved the cold to compete. It was the first time in five years that the meet was held at a different venue, so the students got to try out a new course at the Lee Creek Golf Course in Cardston,” said Carolyn Siemens, cross country coach at St. Mary’s School.

“Although the weather was cold, the students had a great day competing and spending time supporting one another in their events.”

Both Kaleb and Mason Muller qualified for the upcoming cross country provincial meet on Saturday in Cochrane, but will not attend due to their volleyball skills being needed at the Double Blue Tournament Oct. 14-15.

“Unfortunately, they can not attend because we are hosting our Double Blue Volleyball tournament that weekend, and they are a huge part of that team. St. Mary’s is proud of all our athletes who participated in cross country, as we like to encourage health and wellness and this is a sport they can easily continue to participate in through the years to come,” said Siemens.
