WPMS Cross Country Team Competition 2014
Coverage by Hannah Vislocky
West Perry Middle School held its annual cross country team competition on Friday, September 26, 2014.
The competition includes the entire school, and teams group together to support each other and try to win the coveted Spirit Stick.
Six teams compete in the competition: 6 Red, 6 Orange, 7 Blue, 7 Gold, 8 White, and 8 Green. The teams are divided by grades, and two teams at a time compete against each other.
While the teams are racing, teachers and other students alike band together to support the other students.
The competition doesn’t have one winner: the top twenty male and top twenty female students who cross the finish line (from each grade) are considered “winners,” though students who cross the finish line under a certain amount of time are also recorded for the results.
The winning team is decided by the number of people from each team who crossed the finish line within the allotted amount of time.
This year, the winners were 6 Orange, 7 Blue, and 8 White. The winner of the Spirit Stick was 7 Blue.
