Almost 400 runners were on the Albany Golf Course last week for an FCA-sponsored cross country event that saw five local junior high athletes earn medals by placing in the top 10.
Albany junior high and high school runners participated in the district meet held Wednesday, Oct. 10 in Hawley, but results weren’t available at press time.
