2022 HIGH SCHOOL CROSS COUNTRY
Pearsall competed in the FEAST Patriot 20th annual Invitational Cross Country meet on Saturday, September 3 in San Antonio and in a crowded field, the Mavericks were 12th overall at the event.
“This weekend we went up against some of the best runners in Texas and ran great in a stacked field,” PHS Head Coach Ricky Medrano said. “The boys found themselves in a battle and showed grit and toughness in their race to finish with a 12th place team finish with some of the top teams in the region.
“I believe our varsity teams have been competing and training hard and are due for a breakout race soon.”
