by Coach Caleb Wall We had a nice and relaxed meet to end our regular season with. In the girls' race, Whitney Dickau led us on this Minden Course. She was joined by teammates Natalie Malcom, Payton Muegerl, Dallas Weitzel, Whitney Page, and Genesee Knackstedt in placing in the top 15. This put us in second place as a team behind Elm Creek. We had never run here before, and so we don't have times to compare to from last year, but looking at our times from this year, the majority of kids ran their fastest times of the year here.
