2024 Cross Country State Championships at Fort Devens
From Coach George- “The unmistakable scent of victory has shrouded Belmont High's campus this week, and the reason thereof is a beautiful thing. With hundreds of miles in their legs, the Belmont Boys' Cross Country Team will descend upon Fort Devens tomorrow morning to run in the State Championship. For context, the last time this occurred Coach George was in 6th grade and didn't even know what a linear equation was. As well, absolute superstars Kira van Kelsted and Reece Bundy will be running as individuals representing Belmont Girls XC.
If you seem 'em in the hallway, be sure to give our runners a high five and/or chest bump for their fantastic season. Fall sports ain't over yet, people...let's go Belmont!”
