WASHINGTON—St. Peter School (SPS) won big at the 2023 Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) Cross Country Championship meet on Sunday, October 22, hosted by Mary of Nazareth in Darnestown, Maryland.
The 8U Girls team brought home the 1st Place trophy, and both the 11U Girls and 14U Girls teams placed 3rd. Other divisions placed well, with the 8U and 14U Boys each placing 4th and the 11U Boys finishing 6th, and 13 individual runners won medals. Nearly 600 runners from 15 teams competed for the top spots.
“The grit and sheer determination our runners bring to their sport is a reflection of their character, which shines both on and off the field,” said St. Peter School Principal Karen Clay. “With the support of our gifted coaches and a dedicated parent community, St. Peter School’s Cross Country program is among the best in the archdiocese. I am so incredibly proud of our student athletes.”
In addition to Cross Country, SPS also has a robust CYO Basketball program run by parent coaches and volunteers, which kicks off this fall.
SPS will host its first Open House of the season on Friday, November 3, from 9-10:30 a.m., at 422 3rd Street SE, to showcase these offerings and more for prospective students.
Families considering SPS for elementary or middle school will have the opportunity to learn more about the school’s teachings and academic offerings and meet some of the school’s current families, faculty, and staff.
