The North Kingstown Cross Country Team made the trip up to northern Vermont to compete in the Burlington Invitational where they competed against the best teams from the Vermont region.
The girls varsity team were narrowly beaten by a strong Essex team by three points and the guys came out in fifth place despite being shorthanded.
The girls are ready to leave school!!
The guys are posing at the first rest stop on the way.
I think the guys are advising Nick to leave the apple. Coach T explains that they do not know where it has been but I think the guys were more worried about where it might be going. It could also be they are trying to figure out how to negotiate obtaining the larger van from the girls.
