Coach Teri Peterson couldn’t be more excited that a new Cross Country team has been created this year. Team captain Reagan Mimnaugh is serving as leader of the squad, and other team members include Emily Waterworth, Brooke Bjorgaard, Kylee Bolstad, Lexi Bring, Abigail Gossaman, Jackson Barth. The team competed in its first meet of the season in Perham with 24 teams competing. Only three of the team members were able to compete because of other commitments but they performed well. Eighth grader Lexi Bring ran in the girls JH 3200 race against 73 other racers and finished in 18th place with a time of 14.58. A great beginning!
