The Port Neches-Groves cross country team had a successful season, despite neither the team, or any individual, advancing past the regional meet.

Junior Anna Licatino advanced to the regional meet by placing 10th in the district meet with a time of 23:07.

“We had the biggest team ever this year,” said Coach Tanner. “The team overall was really close to going to regionals.”

One of the team’s premier runners, senior Sebastian Wagner, sat down to talk with the Pow Wow about the season.

Q Who did the best out of all the runners on the team?

A Myself (chuckles).

Q What was the best anybody ran this season?

A Jason Lovejoy ran an 18:46 at Claiborne in Vidor.

Q What was everybody’s favorite course?

A Again, Claiborne in Vidor. Everybody that did their best, did their best there.

Q Was anybody given a scholarship?

A Nobody at PN-G was given a scholarship for college. At least for cross country.

Q When does the next cross country season start?

A Practice starts during summer break and the season starts around the first week of school. And most of the runners also do track in the spring.
