Recognizing the Lake Braddock Girls Cross Country Team as the AAA Cross Country State Champions

Madame Chairman,

I would like to congratulate the young women of the Lake Braddock Secondary School’s Cross Country Team for winning the AAA Cross Country championship at the Virginia High School League (VHSL) State Meet on November 10 at Great Meadow.

In addition to their win this year the Lake Braddock girls’ team captured the state title in 2009 and this marks coach Mike Mangan’s fourth girl’s state title since he took over the program in 2000.

The Bruins achievement was assisted by the hard working and talented Sophie Chase, now a junior at Lake Braddock. Sophie finished with a time of 17:24, which is nine seconds better than the state meet record that she set last year.

Therefore Madame Chairman, I would ask without objection, that the Girls Cross Country team from Lake Braddock Secondary School be brought before the Board to be acknowledged for their tremendous achievement.
