The cross country team was very successful this year with all our goals met thus far. These goals were met only because of the hard work and dedication these athletes have. They still have a couple of goals left for State and hopefully they will be accomplished. The State Meet is Saturday, November 1st in Wamego. The girls run at 11:30AM and Alex runs at 12:30PM. Come and watch the best athletes in the state of Kansas compete.
