By John Goolsby, Prep Sports EditorTRUSSVILLE- The Hewitt cross country team competed in the Southern Showcase in Huntsville this past weekend. The girls team recorded a 12th-place finish, and the boys team finished 26th in the highly competitive Championship Division. “It was an exciting day for our girls team,” said head coach Matthew Michalke. “The boys saw a lot of improvement, especially our younger guys, with 12 running a season PR,” said Michalke. “I feel good about where we’re at as a team at this point in the season, but there is a lot of racing still to come,” he said.
