Fall 2024 – National Champion, 3 Team Trophies, 5 All-Americans, and more

At AAU XC Nationals in Charlotte, NC, 7LRC had an outstanding day.

Team Trophies

Both the 11/12 Girls Team and the 11/12 Boys Team are National Champions, and the 9/10 Boys Team won 2nd Place.

The team did not disappoint but actually exceeded my expectations.  We brought home TWO first place team titles with both the 11/12 girls and 11/12 boys winning their national races. 7Locks underdog 9/10 boys’ team showed amazing grit to take home the 2nd place trophy.
