FCA to sponsor cross country meet

By Melinda L. Lucas

Albany runners participated in a cross country meet in Baird on Wednesday, Sept. 25, but results weren’t available at press time and will be reported next week.

Local athletes will join about 10 other schools in an FCA-sponsored meet here in Albany next Wednesday, Oct. 2.

Paul Johnston, FCA’s Big Country East representative, said he is expecting somewhere around 10 teams per division, starting with the high school boys running at 2:30 p.m.

High school girls will run next, followed by junior high boys and then junior high girls.

The meet, which is being held at the Albany Golf Course, will be over by 4:15 p.m., Johnston said.

Entry fees for the teams will be used to send students to a summer FCA leadership camp.

Community volunteers can help with the event, and can call Johnston at 325-660-2347.
