The Thomas girls cross country team arrived at school Monday morning, Oct. 21, in style, with a police escort celebrating their second state championship in as many years.
Last year, this team gave the school its first ever state championship of any kind. And the celebration continued this year with a police escort to school, and an assembly with the entire student body.
