LHS Girls Cross Country Faces State vs. Regional Meet Conflict

The Massachusetts Division I state cross country championship and the Nike Cross Regionals fall on the same day this November, forcing Lexington High School's seven varsity girls and their coaches to choose between them.

Head Coach Rebecca Trachsel said there is no definitive decision yet and that the choice will depend on health and national contention as the season unfolds.
