6th-graders participate in first cross-country meet

Nearly 100 athletes participated in MUSD’s first-ever cross-country meet for sixth-graders Thursday at Maricopa High School.

Butterfield Elementary School PE teacher Steve Sorenson said the event – the first of two – “Is important because our sixth-graders can compete in sports after moving sixth grade from the middle schools to the elementary schools.”

Students from all six of Maricopa Unified School District’s elementary schools participated.
