Wabash High School

The Wabash Middle School Girls Cross Country team showed tremendous effort Saturday morning at Taylor University! From the start, the Lady Apaches pushed hard and stayed together, setting a fast pace early. Through the second half of the race, they dug deep, encouraging one another and holding strong against tough competition. In the final stretch, they showed true determination, sprinting to the finish and leaving it all out on the course. It was a great team performance and a strong step forward in their season. We also had a school record broken! Teresina Cordes, an 8th grader, broke her record setting time of 11:12 (set in 2024) by running an 11:11. Cordes’s response to breaking the record, “I’m not done yet,” after giving encouragement to her teammates as they finished. Coming in first for the running Apache crew was 8th grader Teresina Cordes, placing 2nd overall and running a career PR and school record time of 11:11.
