End of 2014 Season

The season for NKXC came to a close last weekend with a strong showing at Nike Regionals in New York.  

The guys finished their season with a seventh place finish in the open race out of the thirty seven teams competing.

The girls team finished in first place out of the thirty teams in the race.  Bethany Nunnery ran in the girl's championship race and came in 25th in the region.
