Gavin Schulte turned in the best performance of his career Saturday morning at the EscaRosa Championship in Pensacola.
Schulte navigated the course at Osceola in a time of 16:45.30 as he finished second overall. His effort helped the Patriots finish second as a team at the meet.

Pace’s cross-country teams dominated the Wildcat Invitational Saturday morning at the Pensacola State-Milton campus.

Jay’s volleyball team won only six matches a year ago. But there is a turnaround unfolding here for the Royals as they have already surpassed last season’s victory total.
Through the first nine games, Jay is 7-2 and feeling good about where it’s at as a team despite a tough, five-set loss to Milton last week.
Milton has spent a lot of time on the road the first half of the volleyball season, and the Panthers have run into their share of up and down moments.
But they found a way to survive a non-league battle with Jay last Tuesday night, grinding out a five-set victory over the Royals in a back-and-forth match.
Pace’s unbeaten start to the season came to a halt Friday night as Pace fell 29-21 to Crestview at Jack Foster Stadium.
The Patriots led 21-15 at the half but the Bulldogs did not allow another score after halftime. Two Crestview touchdowns in the second half proved to be the difference.
