Wildcat Cross Country News

Submitted by admin on Wed, 09/27/2017 - 7:00am

It was difficult looking at the pictures of our team this week at the Midwest Invite in Janesville. Temps were brutal, races were ran anyway with the exception of the final two races (the JV boys and middle school races).
The Wildcats ran to finish today. They did their best under the oppressive conditions. Not only did they run their best, they also took time to help others on the course. Our managers did the same. This is one thing, and a BIG thing that I love about cross country. The team's selflessness defines them.
