Congratulations to Ian Galligan for winning the boys varsity race on Thursday September 18 at the Eden Valley Watkins/Kimball Invitational held at the Kimball Golf Course.
Ian ran a very smart/tactical race passing the last two Dassel-Cokato runners up the last hill with 300-400 meters to go to finish in a career best time of 18:24. It is the first boys Storm individual win at a race in many years. Danny Sertich finished in 6th place with a time of 19:20.
