The St. Vincent de Paul Tigers track team left the competition in the dust at the annual XC Anahuac Invitational track meet this fall. For the second year in a row, the SVdP girls' and boys' teams both took first place. The team worked hard to achieve their victories and smiled with their coaches after their hard-earned victories. Pictured (from left) are Lauren Martin, coach Marion Jones (back), Ava Terwel, Cristi Curtin, Ella Sweeney, Valentina Rubio, Cate Hughes, Georgina Gonzalez, Claire Bonura, Bella Fiore, Cecilia Bass, Drew Belanger, Nico Pacini, Barrett Fowler, Nico Curtin, Matthew Urbani, Tommy McCullough, William Benoit, William Louis, Ryan Cowles, Jax Calato and coach Linzy Taylor (back).
