Rockwood Elementary, Middle School Students Compete, Have Fun at District Cross Country Meet

More than 1,000 Rockwood center and elementary college college students in grades 4-8 participated within the annual district cross-country meet at Crestview Middle on Oct. 24-25. 

Seventh- and eighth-grade college students ran 1.5 miles, and college students in grades 4-6 ran a mile. 

To help with the occasions, members of our highschool cross-country groups served as “rabbits,” main the racers across the course.

Congratulations to all the college students who participated!
