Season Review: Boys Cross Country

 on November 08, 2021

Strides were made in 2021 – significant ones. A young Cathedral High School boys cross-country team improved as the season continued during the fall of 2021, adjusting to a new coach – and some new approaches. Most importantly, a foundation was laid for the future. All of which meant Irish boys cross-country coach Jason Moyars – in his first season in the position after 22 seasons as an assistant – liked how he felt about a young, improving program when the ’21 season ended. “We got better as the year went ...
