Improvement.
It's really all a coach can ask for, and it's something the Carroll boys cross country team delivered last weekend.
The Dragons Elite team of Trevor Gilley, Jordan Chavez, Joe Sansone and Ben Golestan finished second at the Greenhill cross country relay meet on Saturday.
"I thought the weekend went well," Carroll coach Justin Leonard said. "The boys finished second and third out of 48 teams, which is a good finish. We ran well, a lot better than last year. Still, second or third is not quite where we want to be, so we have a lot of hard work yet."
The team of Regan Hatcher, Alex Johannesen, Nate Sullivan and Kyle Scanlan finished third for the boys.
On the girls side, the Lady Dragons picked up fourth and sixth place finishes.
"The girls competed hard," Leonard said. "We had some good times, some times that were better than last year but at the same time we can tell we have a lot of work to do, to be where we want to be."
Carroll's Elite team, which finished fourth, featured Rachel Harper, Courtney Kriegshauser, Morgan Baulier and Shelby Chapin.
The sixth place finishing squad featured Felice Johnson, Julia Sunderland, Sarah Cory and Lauren Berry.
Up next
The Dragons return to action at the Marcus Invitational at 8 a.m. Saturday at the North Lakes Park in Denton.
"It's a big meet," Leonard said. 'It's the first regular meet of the year where all the girls are on the line and ready all at once. It's a packed field with a lot of teams in the meet. It's a good experience and it's always exciting to go to a meet of that caliber because you know you're getting quality competition."
