FAST AS LIGHTNING: CROSS COUNTRY

By Garret Davis

Boys XC

The Southeast boys cross country team has been working extremely hard. The XC team is coached by Monica Kiskadden, and the team’s top five consists of Cohen Richardson, Caden Dillon, Seth Dillon, Dylan Evans, intermixing Mason Dix and Noah Croston into the top spots. The team is led by C. Dillon who has been a top finisher every meet so far this year. C. Dillon says that, “The team has been the best we have had in a long time”. This shows that they have had great strides and are going to continue to grow because it’s still a young team. The Team has only one senior which is Evans and he has improved a lot each year. Good luck to the Southeast XC boys!

Girls XC

The Southeast High School girls XC team hit the ground running this year! Julia Dillon is the head coach for the girls XC team, and the team leaders are Julia Wheeler and Jenna Canale, and they are the team’s top finishers. The fastest time this year is by Wheeler with a 19:08. The team’s other runners are Jullian Shaffner, Emma Smith and alternating the 5th spot between Anastasia Sutliff and Eva Corll. The girls have been working hard and even started running in June before practices started to get in top shape for the year. Coach Dillon said “The girls’ season has been very successful”. She hopes they continue their great season with more top finishes. Go Girls cross country!

ABOUT US

The Pirate Post started out as a club in the spring of 2025. This year, it officially became a Journalism and Communications Class, run by students, that is open to anyone! The process to make this an elective, however, was no easy feat. Student Izzy Goodnite (who proposed that we create a school newspaper) wrote a proposal for the school board, and they agreed to make it a class. We aim to inform the student body about things that are new at Southeast: sports, school plays, field trips, and seasonal news. We cover it all! “I feel this newspaper isn’t just about information though, it is also about learning and recognizing people who deserve it,” states Goodnite. If you enjoy writing, Newspaper is the class for you! If you have any article ideas or any questions, you can email our advisor, Julia Dillon: jdillon@sepirates.org or fill out the form at the bottom of our website.
