The spectacular season for the Rock Bridge Boys and Girls continued Friday in St. Charles’ McNair Park at the 2011 Border Wars XC Championship. The Bruins came away with easy wins, cruising to 17 and 30 point totals on Friday afternoon. There were no divisions or classifications, just one girl’s race and one boy’s race with medals going to the top 50 finishers in each.
