Head Coach Jim Andrews and his two varsity cross country teams have completed their regular season schedule with the recent running of “The Thrill on the Hill” at Greenwood’s Bell Park. Coming up next is the 5A West conference meet that will also be held at Bell Park on Tuesday, October 27th, a fact that clearly favors both Greenwood squads. They will spend the next 10 days practicing and preparing for both the conference meet and the state meet in Hot Springs on November 7th. The following is a complete rundown of Greenwood’s five cross country meets this fall.
