Meet Recap: Who doesn't love a little rain😎 What started out with a smattering of rain in the beginning races, led to an all-out mud bath on many sections of the course....in particular the hills. In each of the 6 races the Rebels persevered! Much to like over the course of the morning as the teams closed the team score gap that was St. Olaf. The Varsity Girls' moved ahead of Bloomington Jefferson and the Varsity Boys' closed the gap against the same team by 5 places to fall behind by only 9 points.
Of the 18 girls racing 14 had seasonal bests, for the boys, 17 of the 21 running had seasonal bests!
