This meet has many of the top 4A teams in the state and it is a great opportunity for Ulysses to run against these teams. Wamego is also where the 4A, 2A, and 1A state cross-country meet is held.
The girls had a good showing as they raced to a 9th place team finish out of 15 teams. They tied for 8th place but lost the tie.
The boys ran to their best team finish yet, in this meet, as they ended up in 5th place, trailing only 1 point behind the 4th place team finish and winning the tie with Eudora who placed 6th. There were 19 teams in the boys’ race.
Our kids did a really good job getting out and running tough, said Coach Georjean Perez.
