Last week, there were two cross country meets at home - the first River Cities Alliance Jamboree on Wednesday and the annual home invitational on Saturday. Wednesday brought warm weather but the girls team went in very prepared to take on the 6 other new teams in the conference. Conference races are all about placing and the team did a great job of positioning early on and made some big moves in the second half of the race to place second behind a strong Coopersville team. This second place finish was the first time the girls team has been top 2 in any jamboree or conference event since October of 2014. It is also the first time the girls have scored under 90 points at a conference event since 2015 (66 was Wednesday's score). On Saturday, 12 other high school teams attended the home invitational. The event went well and gave the girls a chance to see some competition that we don't normally get to see. Both girls races had great efforts in their 3rd race in an 8 day stretch. We were also able to honor our seniors, Madison Viau and Kaisa Maki at the end. Next up is the Otsego Invitational on Saturday.
