2022.11.12 Cross Country: VHSL State Championships

Leesburg, VA (November 12, 2022) - The VHSL Cross Country championships are usually marked by cold November weather. Everyone except the runners completely bundled up, and each breath of air accompanied by a cloud of condensation. But that was not this case, as the Class 4, 5, and 6 runners gathered for culmination of the harriers' season. They were met by mild to warm and sunny weather, and they were off to the races.

Chas Sumser Photography was there to capture the action and emotion and posted a gallery of images from the races (searchable by bib number, athlete name, school).
