BHS Cross Country awards

Cross Country Coach Jacki Kelly recently handed out awards for the 2023 Beardstown High School Cross Country team.  

She was particularly proud of her team’s academic performance, noting that 100% of the team who were eligible for Academic All-Conference in the West Central Conference, were named to the team.  The only athletes who did not get recognized were the freshmen who are not eligible since they do not have a GPA established.
