Saturday was a great day for the Los Alamos High School Cross Country team at the Rio Rancho Jamboree. The boys finished 2nd overall and the Girls 3rd overall in the Championship Varsity races. More importantly, both teams were the fastest 5A teams against all the competition they’ll see on the same course at the State Championship in three weeks.
