Middle School at Metro!

Our middle school team was extended the opportunity to run with our high school team at the 52nd Metro Invitational. A few girls took the challenge and ran on Saturday. We are so proud of our up and coming runners especially those who are willing to take a risk and try something new. Our high school team loved riding the bus, cheering and participating in a cool-down with them. They have a great attitudes and a fearlessness about racing. They all came back and raced a one mile on Monday at Minnetonka. We look forward to having more of our middle school team join us at Milaca this upcoming Saturday. Go Trojans!
