The top eight girls and the top four boys from the Pine Creek Cross Country team traveled to Arizona on September 24, 2021 for the Desert Twilight meet, to compete against the best high school runners in the region. While the rest of the team was competing in the Coronado Cougar Classic, the athletes in Arizona were making history by having the first four girls runners stay below 19 minutes in the same race at Pine Creek.
