“The cross-country team is very excited to sponsor this event for the sixth year,” said Traci Seto, a math teacher at Albiani and race director of the Falcon Fun Run.  “This event not only allows the team to stay active in the community, but also gives them a chance to introduce the sport of running to younger students.”
