Shout outs/Results:
SHS Cross Country: Salida Boys are State Champions!🏆How much fun it is to write those words! Congratulations to our entire XC program on a Job Well Done! Congrats to Coach Kenny, Coach Katie, Coach Remington and all the other coaches on guiding these athletes to the top spot on the podium. Along with winning the team title, Charlie and Jackson finished on the podium in 9th and 10th overall with Joaquin finishing right behind them. In XC it takes 5 runners to score and Lincoln and Grayson ran season bests to secure the win for the team along with Eli and Cole. No matter how you score it, Salida brought the Strongest TEAM to State this year!
On the Girls side, we finished 6th overall! Another great result for the team. Lucy Lenth was the highest overall Spartan finisher coming in at 6th overall on the girls side!

AD’s Remarks:
Congratulations to our Boy’s Cross Country Team on their State Title! It is our time to celebrate your hard work and accomplishments! You all have officially joined the 18 other Salida Spartan teams that have attained legendary status by winning a State Title! Many great coaches, and talented runners may go their entire career without ever getting to that top step on the podium. So take some time to enjoy your accomplishments and be sure to thank all those who helped you all on your way, because we know that titles are not won in a vacuum.
Winning State is the goal for many as they enter the season, but it is only a reality for one team. Do not take for granted how special of an opportunity this was. It takes skill, endurance and a little bit of luck to reach the pinnacle! You all started your journey this summer locking in and committing to each other and this goal. The race may have been Saturday, but it was won with your effort long before that! Congrats!!
Please stay tuned as we announce opportunities to Celebrate this outstanding team as a school and community.
