The public is invited to attend a send-off scheduled at 2:30 p.m. for the Port Aransas High School cross-country team as the runners leave town today, Thursday, Oct. 30, to go to the state meet in Round Rock.
Students, staff and community members will line up on the sidewalk on Station Street in front of PAHS, the school district administration building and H.G. Olsen Elementary School and wave to the team as they depart aboard a bus. Folks should arrive by 2:30 p.m. to avoid missing the send-off.
The state meet will be on Friday and Saturday, Oct. 31 and Nov. 1 at Old Settlers Park in Round Rock.
The PAHS boys earned the right to compete at the state meet by taking first place at regional competition at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi on Monday, Oct. 21.
PAHS girls qualified by placing second among 2A high schools.
When results become available, the South Jetty will post updates to the newspaper’s website, www.portasouthjetty.com.
