Regional Champions!

Congratulations to the boys and girls teams, who both earned the right to compete at sectionals next Saturday.

In addition, the boys picked up the first regional title in the history of the school.

The lone medalist was Tyler Johnson, who was the individual regional champion. 

The sectional meet will take place at Maple Land Country Club in Elmwood, Illinois.

The girls race will start at 10:30 AM, while the boys will run at 11:15 AM.
