The cross country team arrived at Coyote Hills, Sept. 29, after weeks of training, ready to start off their MVAL season racing against Newark Memorial High School. However, due to unfortunate circumstances involving a violent weapon, Newark was put on a lockdown during school hours, and the race was called off.

“We ended up just racing against each other,” sophomore Sameed Siddiqui said.
According to Coach Robert Raymond, the team still intends on racing against Newark, and will have a combined dual-meet Nov. 4 at Coyote Hills. In accordance to schedule, Newark will race against Irvington, while Washington will race against Kennedy. However, Washington will score against both Newark and Kennedy. 
 
The huskies’ next meet will be Oct. 7 against Mission San Jose High School.
