Three athletes seems like hardly enough to field a full cross country team, but it was more than enough for coach Crystal Wellborn. 

What started as a team of five cross country runners, ended up as a team of three. While the team was small, it probably fielded the best percentage of runners heading to the state competition, as all three qualified for the State Championship.
