WARSAW R-IX GOOD NEWS

On November 8, 2021 the staff of the Warsaw School District came together for a professional development day. The theme of the day was What is Your Why? The staff worked together to discover or rediscover their WHY. Why they chose to teach, why they love what they do, why they dedicate their life to teaching.

WARSAW CROSS COUNTRY RESULTS

2021 State XC Championships, Columbia, MO (Gans Creek)

State XC Championship Results:

Alyssa Alcantara (Senior) - 21:19.00 (60th out of 170 runners)

Alyssa has been a State Qualifier for 4 straight years and has an All State Championship under her belt. It has been one fun ride to be a part of her High School XC Running career. She has fought injuries and pain and still managed to wrap up a strong XC career. Where have these 5 years of being Alyssa's coach gone. It feels like just yesterday I started working with her as an 8th grader. I will definitely cherish all the memories. She will be greatly missed but I know that she will move on and do amazing things with her future.

George Montez (Junior) - 18:14.70 (88th out of 170 runners)

Congratulations to George on a strong run at State. George ran his 2nd fastest time in his 3 years of running high school XC.

George enjoys the atmosphere and likes to soak up the fun at the State XC Championships. He enjoys making friends with his competitors and is happy to be a part of such an event. I look forward to George's senior year. He has made a goal to push himself and prepare himself for this final year of XC as a senior next year and can not wait to be a part of it.

Mr. Ehren Banfield
