Harrison Manley and Matthew Laborde (from left) competed in the recent Dolphin Dash cross-country meet hosted by Annunciation Orthodox School. The boys, both seventh graders at Presbyterian School, finished the 1.5-mile race with impressive sub-11-minute times. The team has participated in numerous meets this school year, including Second Baptist School’s Soaring Eagle Cross Country Race, St. John’s School’s Maverick Ramble and the Houston Junior Preparatory Conference middle school championships. In addition to Manley and Laborde, the sixth- and seventh-grade Presbyterian boys’ team includes Adam Dunn, Aidan Granberry, Brock McEldowney, Connor Kirby, Craig Smith, Daniel Koch, Jack Quander, Josh Schwartz, Nathan Wilson, Scott Koh and Thomas Minton.
