The Hornets Cross Country team is hosting their second Hornet Invitational of the 2013 season.

The track meet will take place at the Hornets home track which is located in Smyrna.

The team has practiced non-stop nearly seven days a week to prepare for this upcoming meet.

They have made changes in the coaching personnel with the new edition of head coach Krystal Mckenzie for the girls’ team.

At their last meet on September 21, both the girls and boys placed 5th in the Cappy Anderson Invitational.

Talking with some players they feel as though the team has improved morally and in their work ethics.

This Cross Country team seeks to put Delaware State on top of the MEAC to attain prestige in the track program.
