The Bainbridge Spartans showed out in the fourth Olympic League cross country meet of the season at Battle Point Park Oct. 15, placing first overall in both boys and girls events.

“I felt like the sense of community was very strong today,” Bainbridge team captain Lucy Brown said. “Especially since it was a home meet, a lot more of our parents and friends were able to be here, and hearing them cheer us on was very fun and rewarding.”
