Last Saturday on a cold, windy and rainy course, the Belleville Cross Country team competed in Darlington for their sectional race, which is a state qualifier.

Both teams did an outstanding job, with the boy's team placing sixth out of 17 teams and the girl's placing eighth out of 15 teams.

The girl's team was led by Noelle Maire, who was the sectional champ and the first individual qualifier with a time of 19:27.

She was followed by Rachel Uebelacker (23:58), Lexi Walker (24:36), Mili Julian (24:41), Clarice Loeffelholz (25:16), Britney Markhardt (25:46), and Brittany Kiefer (26:05).
