As a team the boys finished in 9th place overall. Gretna was the team champion with 21 points followed by Lincoln Lutheran with 43. Coach Weber was pleased with the effort of all runners on a challenging course against some very good competition. Many of the runners are starting to see improvement and as both teams gain more experience, they should start to see more success as a team.
