The Bears-Tigers-Bolts returned to Williamsburg to defend their Raider Invite Championship from September, and they did so decisively, beating Williamsburg by 137.5 points to win the October Raider Invite. The team dominated the meet, winning 10 out of 11 events and claiming both first and second place in two events.

At this stage of the season, personal records (PRs) can be tough to achieve, yet the team continues to stay positive, cheering each other on and supporting one another when times fall short of expectations.
