Roby Lion XC brings home more hardware before District Meet

Last Wednesday, Roby’s cross country runners got one final run in at Ballinger before the district meet. With the season winding down, nerves are coming to a high as the meets become more and more important. The Lady Lions battled through the tough course, and walked away with another team win.
