More than 150 runners competed in three categories: Middle School Girls and Middle School Boys in the 3 km race, and High School Girls & Boys in the 5 km race.

A number of the ACS Athens runners completed the races with a "personal best" time and medal performances. Congratulations to:

This competition was the last one before the ISAA Competition that is scheduled to take place in Brussels next week, which will be the final event for the Cross Country season.

Great job by all the runners and coaches.
