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!

Meet Recap: The day was sunny and the temp....well it was hot!  The Rebels XC Team raced to solid performances across the board in all 4 races.  Handling both a huge competitive field (50 Teams), with races of 300+ runners in each and the warm September day.

 Our JV Girls' started off our return to the St. Olaf Showcase Meet with solid performances in the 1st 5K of the year for the team.  Rookie Kennedy Norsted completed her 1st HS 5K of her career finishing 272nd overall in the race. While we didn't race a complete team, Ellie Kraesen finished 180th followed by Eleanor Martenson in 211th and Kaylee Kern in 251st.

The Varsity Girls' raced to a respectable 13th place in a  field loaded with 9 early season ranked teams. Abby Hibbs led the way with a 23rd place finish with Vayda Foy in 41st and Elise Oldroyd in 57th place. Our 4th and 5th runners were Ellie Grossman in 142nd and Gabby Wahl in 155th.  7th Grader Ophelia Schomaker made her HS debut racing to 241st place as did Senior Rachel Miller who finished 188th.  

Our JV Boy's Team had 6 athletes make their HS XC debut racing against a huge field of over 400+ runners.
