The Ava Bears and Lady Bears competed in the Fellows Lake 5000 Strafford XC Invitational this past Saturday, September 4th. 

Ava had 6 athletes compete in the High School races.  For the Bears, Maddox Wade and Zach Scrivner competed in the Junior Varsity race, which was a 5K (3.1 mile) race.  50 runners competed in that race, and to medal, a runner needed to place in the top 15. 

Maddox Wade medaled, finishing in 12th, with a time of 22:28.  There was only one High School girls race offered to compete in, so all four of the Lady Bears completed in that race.  It was also a 5K (3.1 mile) race.  The girls race had 82 competitors. 

The results from Saturday are as follows:

JV Boys:

Maddox Wade–12th–22:28 (Medal)

Zachary Scrivner–24th–25:02

HS Girls:

Alexis Emrick–26th–27:23
