The Lovell Middle School cross country team raced at the Cody Invitational on Saturday to open the 2025 season. The course was shorter than what the team is used to. Instead of the typical 3,200 meters, the course was 2,700 meters.

“Treleah Two Two is a really talented runner,” he said. “She really gets after it and wants to race hard.”

Two Two finished 10th with a time of 12:34.94. The coaches are excited to see what she can do as the season progresses.
