The cross-country teams defeated Ravenscroft in their first meet of the year Wednesday. The races were shortened from the traditional 5K to a 3K race due to the afternoon heat. Defending state champion Audrey Crowder ’27 led the way for the girls, finishing first with a time of 11:56! Angus Cook ’25 took first for the boys with a time of 10:33! The team’s next meet is Wednesday, as DA hosts St. David’s School and Saint Mary’s School.

Parent Athletics Committee
Interested in supporting the Parent Athletics Committee’s work? Being involved with the PAC is a great social activity, allowing for interactions with students, coaches and staff, and this group’s efforts are integral to the success of Durham Academy Athletics.
One fun, important opportunity to get involved is to help with concessions. Thank you in advance for your help!
Career Milestone
Julian Cochran is in his 23rd season at the helm of the varsity boys soccer program. On Aug. 31, the Cavaliers beat Wake Christian Academy, 5–0, to give Coach Cochran his 200th career victory as head coach of the Cavaliers! A milestone, indeed. Congratulations, Coach, and thank you for all that you do for Durham Academy!
