After nine straight seasons the FBLG Hawks boys cross country team still stands above the rest. A first place and second place finisher in the boys A team in Jerald Bagain and Erjan Sanchez and a ninth overall team title to wrap up 2015 was the kind of Monday evening the Hawks and head coach Milven Jamindang had.

The runners weren’t too familiar with the Okkodo course, but runners proved to adapt by still posting solid numbers.

Winning the overall team title for the girls was the Agueda Johnston Pirates with the top finisher in that division coming from Jose Rios in Mya Tolerson. Agueda managed to grab three of the top 10 spots to secure their team title.

The distance was 1.5 miles and the speed group of top 10 finishers completed the course in under 10. The Hawks grabbed four of the top 10 finishers in their ninth-year siege.
