Area runners are gearing up for the new season. Last year's results indicate a strong presence of distance runners in Southern Denton County. The previous season saw several athletes from the area qualify for regional and state competitions.

Motivation is high among returning athletes, particularly after a notable performance by the Liberty Christian cross country program. The team's outcome at the district meet has driven them to work harder this season. Further information about the upcoming cross country season can be found in the Cross Timbers Gazette, including details about local teams and their prospects for the new season.
