Foundation Academy hosted the Class 1A District 4 cross-country meet Wednesday, Nov. 5. It was the school’s first time hosting since its new track opened.
There were 17 boys teams competing and 11 girls. Local participating schools included Foundation Academy, The First Academy and Legacy Charter. The girls took off first at 4:50 p.m., followed by the boys at 5:20 p.m.
The teams lined up at the starting line on Foundation’s turf before dashing across the field to squeeze through the gate. Each runner was required to wear spikes on their shoes because the 5K course was primarily in grass. They winded their ways through the grassy area surrounding Foundation’s Tilden campus before returning to the track for the final dash.
