San Marcos cross country began its 2022 season at Southeast Metropolitan Park in Austin at the Westlake Chaparral Invitational on Aug. 26.
The Rattler varsity boys’ runners took home a 13th place finish out of 33 schools competing, and the varsity Lady Rattlers finished in eighth place overall out of 31 competing schools. The purple and white set 23 new personal records across their program during the meet, including 10 on the girls’ side and 13 on the boys’ side.
The Lady Rattlers’ top runner from the weekend was sophomore Kareena Rodriguez. Rodriguez placed 13th out of 153 runners, posting a time of 19:46. Rodriguez was ranked second overall heading into the District 26-6A meet in 2021, and will look to build off her stellar freshman campaign in 2022.
