The Oregon Junior High School cross country teams continue to impress this season, delivering strong performances at the Schmidt Invitational on Saturday, Sept. 27, at Fuller Forest Preserve.

Running a shortened 1.25-mile course under sunny skies, both the girls’ and boys’ teams proved their grit, teamwork, and determination.

The girls’ team placed an impressive fifth out of 12 teams, led by Kollins Anaya, who captured first place overall with a winning time of 7:29.72. Close behind were Marie Ramirez (22nd, 8:28.62) and McKenna Mosely (29th, 8:36.6), who ran nearly stride for stride.
