Coach Scott Walton and the Fighting Owls Cross Country team traveled to Hagerstown Community College this past weekend to compete in the Region XX, Division I and III Cross Country Championships. After a successful season for the Owls, the Championships would prove to be a culmination of all their hard work, as the two runners for Harford both placed in the top 20 in their division.

Freshman, Julia Belsan (Aberdeen, Md./Aberdeen), placed in the top of the pack with a time of 22:42, propelling her to a third place finish. Walton was impressed with Belsan's performance and is looking forward to having her back next year. On the men's side, freshman, James Kaufman (Bel Air, Md./ C.Milton Wright) , ran a hard race and placed 18th with a time of 32:56. Walton was also impressed by Kaufman's performance in a race he deemed as, ”very competitive this year."

Walton is also optimistic about the future of the program and says that he predicts a bright future for his returning student-athletes next year.
