The team wrapped up an incredible season by finishing 11th at Nike Nationals in Portland, OR on Saturday, December 5th. It was the team’s first trip westward for the this national meet. The 2015 meet results can be found HERE. The team was led by freshman, Grace Kilroy and senior, Lainey Studebaker. They placed 60th and 63rd respectively in the race and were a great one-two punch for the team. This Nike Nationals race featured 25 State Championship Teams and 59 State Champion Runners between the girls and boys races!

The girls and coaches had a wonderful time enjoying the entire trip. Pictured above is the group enjoying part of Nike Headquarters. The overall experience was absolutely magnificent with highlights over course being the race as well as meeting many Nike Elite athletes and the top teams from across the United States. A HUGE “thank you” to the supporters of CGXC who donated through www.GoFundMe.com. The team raised over $6500 in one week!
