It was a beautiful, crisp autumn day for the state cross country meet in Wamego this morning. This is a very hilly and difficult course, but everyone showed up today.

Malaki and Jaden both broke 20 for the second time in three meets. Justus ran 20:21 for the third time this year! Isaac H ran a solid 21:05. Isaac C and Ty came in together at 21:42- a PR for Ty.
