North Miami Middle/High School

The North Miami cross country team started its season at Rochester with their inaugural Hokum Karem—a relay race in which runners compete in pairs. Each athlete runs three one-mile loops and recovers between loops while the partner is running. The Warriors had only three runners with enough practices attended to compete: senior Leah Miller, sophomore Leah Shafer, and freshman Sydney Lane. This race is essentially a warmup to regular five-kilometer races coming up this week. Leah Miller ran times of 7:46, 8:24, and 8:23, which are outstanding times for her! Leah Shafer's times were 6:32, 6:53, and 7:18, which was a strong performance. Sydney Lane ran times of 7:42, 8:08, and 7:45 in her first high school competition. The Warriors will travel to Northwestern High School on Tuesday to compete in a three-kilometer race—another preparation for their first five-kilometer race Saturday at North White. Let's go Warriors!
