The Mountain Home High School Cross Country team will send three athletes to the State Competition in Pocatello on November 2nd at the Portneuf Wellness Complex.

Jacob Criddle ran a 16:00.5 setting a new school record, Derek Schultz improved his fastest time by 34.4 seconds with a time of 17:00 and Charlize Lawson just missed out on breaking the school record with a time of 19:43. All three will compete at the State Competition with the girls race beginning at 2 p.m. and the boys race starting at 3 p.m.

The high school will be holding a send off in front of the school at 10 a.m. on Friday Nov. 1.
