The Mount Pleasant Tiger cross country team participated in the Region II 5A Cross Country meet on Tuesday held at Lynn Creek Park in Grand Prairie. As a team, the Tigers finished in 6th place overall out of 23 teams with all their runners finishing in the top 50.

Daniel Robles, the district champion, was the top Tiger finisher in 25th place with a time of 17:04.28. Geovanni Calderon finished in 34th place at 17:19.26 and Johnathan Sandate came across the finish line in 38th place at 17:26.41. Gilberth Landaverde finished in 47th place at 17:36.07 and Christopher Escobar rounded out the top 50 at 17:38.88.

The Tigers defended their district title once again this season and will look to keep that streak going next year. Many of the Tigers will move on to other sports and others will prepare for the upcoming track season in February.
