| First part of middle school activities pilot wraps up |
| Monday, October 26, 2009 |
Pattonville's middle school cross country pilot program wrapped up on Oct. 10 with a cross country meet at Pattonville High School. Twenty-one eighth-graders from Holman Middle School, Pattonville Heights Middle School and Remington Traditional School took part in the meet which featured a two-mile course.
The top five finishers among the boys and the girls were awarded medals. Pattonville began a pilot this fall to explore additional ways to get middle school students involved in after-school activities. The meet was the culminating event for the six-week cross country program. This winter, all eighth-graders can participate in a free six-week session of volleyball, which will conclude in a three-school tournament. In the spring, another six weeks of cross country is scheduled, with the students running in the Pattonville Wellness Run/Walk on May 15th.
The top five finishers in the recent cross country meet were:
Boys
First Place: Ian Barclay (Remington)
Second Place: Will Chaney (Heights)
Third Place: Corey Lumpkins (Holman)
Fourth Place: Michael Burns (Holman)
Fifth Place: Travis Beal (Heights)
Girls
First Place: Kirby McClain (Holman)
Second Place: Lily Vandergriff (Remington)
