The high school cross country season may be in the books for 2020 but the races don't stop for the area's top runners. At Kinkaid, freshman Tori Livingstone raced this past weekend in the AAU National Cross Country meet finishing 27th overall. She will be a runner to watch in the next few years. Livingstone would have been one of the top runners in SPC this fall but the conference did not host any of its fall championships.
