Seniors Sam Sunstrom and Matt Kruger had big days at the Central Lakes Conference meet in Fergus Falls on October 16.
Matt was presented with a special achievement award for participating all six years in the CLC and a link to the video should be uploaded to this blog in the near future. Please come back to view it because it was really a special moment. Our conference runners showed tremendous respect for Matt's achievement. Just another reason why cross country and running in general is such a great sport!
Congratulations go out to Sam Sunstrom on her third place finish at the CLC meet with a time of 15:26 on a very difficult (hilly) course in 70+ degree weather. She held off the hard charging Sam Hanson of Willmar and Mackenzie Dockendorf of Sartell to finish third.
Sam is our first CLC All-Conference runner since Kelsey Peterson and Mike McConnell did it in 2004! Also, Sam is the highest placing female runner at the conference meet since Sauk Rapids joined the CLC in 2002! (Gia Dickenson placed 4th in 2002)
Best of luck to all of our runners at the Section 8AA meet in Bemdiji on October 25th.
