The team has had an extraordinary increase in runners this year. Explaining why their is such an increase in numbers, "Everyone wants to train for their other sports" Mr Tvedt, cross country coach said. There have been setbacks due to weather also this year. Two consecutive meets have been cancelled due to rain this year. "In my eleven years of coaching, we haven't had any meets cancelled until this year," Mr. Tvedt said. Some valuable runners have joined just this year, which really benefits the team's results. The senior runners include: Lauren Brandt, Derek Kielty, Jordan Stahn, and Matthew Goens. Having experienced runners on the team give support and tips for better running. The team has great expectations for state this year. The state meet will be held in Rapid City on October 24th. A girls' varsity team, consisting of Mackenzie Mack, Shaina Mack, Karli Hintz, Gabbie Nelson, and Lauren Brandt, are expected to make it. Jordan Stahn and Adam Krause are also expected to make it individually.
"The runners have great work ethic, and good attitudes, which makes them fun to coach," Mr. Tvedt said. They have to be motivated because they know everyday at practice they will have to run around 2 miles. Maybe the freezies everyday after practice keeps them motivated!
