The Helias Crusaders finished atop the JV team standings Saturday during the Central Missouri Activities Conference championships at the Crusader Athletic Complex. The Crusaders won six of the 19 events, scoring 157 points. Rock Bridge was runner-up with 150.5 points.
The Helias Crusaders and Lady Crusaders are on opposite ends when it comes to numbers this cross country season. But the competition for varsity spots is similar. “We’ve got a lot of great competitions going on in practice,” Helias coach Leslie Verslues said as the Crusaders and Lady Crusaders start the season at the Cross Country Kickoff today at Gans Creek in Columbia. “We’ve enjoyed lots of good running practices.”
