University of South Florida Cross Country Coach Dena Reif knows the importance of keeping local talent at home. The Bulls women's roster is comprised completely of Floridians hailing from various parts of the state. Recently, Reif continued that trend of landing area athletes when she received commitments from five of the states' top runners. Catherine Blaney of Belleview, Hannah Loder of Matanzas, Elizabeth Harper of Merritt Island, Natalie Novak of Lakewood Ranch, and Kaitlyn Campo of Olympia will dawn the green and gold in the fall of 2013.

Two central Florida teams logged close to a combined 2000 miles to get the chance to run the Gauntlet at the Key West Golf Club.  Matanzas and Spruce Creek made the journey, both for the first time but probably not the last as they brought back a lot of hardware, and great memories from Saturday’s meet.  

  Colonial's Andre Arroyo (15:44) and Matanzas' Heather Loder (19:26) roped in the win at the FPC-hosted Spikes and Spurs Invitational. Held at the Flagler County Fairgrounds--home of their annual Cracker Day Rodeo--the race started with the crack of a rawhide whip, followed a tough, mud-slowed course and finished in front of the stands in the Main Arena. Colonial's Boys (28 points) and Bartram Trail's Girls (47 points) took team honors. Story and photos by "Cowboy Ralph."
