After this past weekend Foothill’s girl’s cross-country team is no longer the best kept secret in the county.

Julia and Allie Rigby, Alison and Ariane Gushue and Carley Gross competed in the largest single day cross country meet in the nation on Saturday, the Woodbridge Invitational, and placed second behind Division I state champions Saugus.

The Knights set a team time record while competing in the elite Sweepstakes Race.
Maybe the most notable fact for the girls is that all 5 of their scoring runners ran faster than their top runner did at this same meet last year.  

Also, all 5 scoring runners ran faster than the top Foothill girl did at the Woodbridge Invitational back in 1999, when Foothill won the State Championship.

Foothill’s cross-country team is currently ranked No. 1 in CIF-SS DII.
