Nashville- The Hope Cross Country team headed to Nashville for the Scrapper Invitational. Brianna Maclaughlin had another great outing as she claimed 3rd place, as she followed up a great 2nd place finish last week in DeQueen. Maclaughlin looks primed to finish the year very strong and make a push for a top-2 finish in district. Esme Leon continues to turn heads as she put together another top-10 finish this week, as she finished in 6th place. Leon has improved drastically from last season and is trending in the right direction with the conference meet a few weeks away. Ari Juanes had a great showing in 16th overall at the meet, followed by Wendy Hernandez in 26th, and Allison Yhoss in 32nd to round out the team score of 40, which was good enough for 2nd place behind DeQueen. Crystal Ortiz finished in 37th, Reyna Martinez 40th, Angelica Soto 57th, Paola Dominguez 61st, and Angelina Soto 70th.

Felipe has been great this season and he is looking ready to grab a top-5 finish in the conference meet. Brian Jimenez finished in 5th place, right behind Felipe. Jimenez has been excellent this season for Hope and he is primed for another great season, as he will look to earn a top-5 finish in the conference meet as well.
