Boys Cross Country Team

Congratulations dragons…this is the boy’s team sixth consecutive title at State for cross country. 

On Friday, November 9, on a rain flooded, mud covered field at The Great Meadow Event Park in Warrenton the Maggie Walker Boys’ Cross Country team made history. Lead by senior Adam Sachs’s (Henrico, 2019) 2nd place individual finish and bolstered by 3 additional top 15, All-State finishes from juniors Ben Neuwirth (5th-Henrico, 2020), Carter Morgan (7th – Henrico, 2020) and Nathaniel Gregory (14th -Hanover, 2019) the boys were dominant en route to their 6th consecutive VHSL 2A State Championship. This victory breaks the long-standing mark of 5 consecutive team titles that the boys equaled last year. As the school moves from group 2A to group 3A next year, they will leave their 2A competition having won every Cross Country State Championship contest during their time.
