WINDOW ROCK
After several attempts, the Monument Valley girls cross-country team finally found a way to beat the Window Rock Lady Scouts.
The Mustangs edged Window Rock by a mere point during the Arizona Interscholastic Association Division III, North Section race on Wednesday, Nov. 4 at Lake Powell National Golf Course in Page.
MV placed three runners in the top 10 while the Scouts yielded two in this nip-and-tuck race for the sectional crown with the Mustangs scoring 56 and Window Rock a close second with 57.
“That was the first time we beat Window Rock,” MV coach Landis Nelson said. “We got close a couple of times. They’ve been keeping us honest and it kind of gave us a really good benchmark to strive for as a team because we’re not really too worried about anybody other than ourselves.”
