The Dillard girls cross country team finished a close second place after injuries to key runners prevented them from achieving their ultimate goal of winning the Class 3A state title. Undeterred, they now will muster all their strength, energy and talent towards the next competition, a Nike nationally sponsored cross country invitational in North Carolina. Coach David Gill is committed to building a championship program at Dillard High School, completely assured that this contingent of talented, disciplined runners will maximize their potential en route to achieving their ultimate goal: bringing a state championship and national recognition to Dillard High and its amazing community of students, alumni and supporters.
