Demco earns honor
Big Foot junior girls cross country runner Zanzie Demco was named to the All-RVC first team.
Demco was the Chiefs’ lone representative on the three teams. At the WIAA Division 2 Deerfield-Cambridge Sectional last month, she finished 12th overall in 19:56.68 for Big Foot’s top overall finish.
Demco also had Big Foot’s best effort at the RVC Meet, as she was seventh overall in 20:45.
