MS XC runs competes at Addision Invitational

The middle school XC team competed Saturday at the Addison Invitational. The 5^th and 6^th graders ran 1.6 miles and the 7^th and 8^th graders ran 2.4 miles. 
Stand outs included Madison Natschke, who took 2^nd overall in her race. Gezahegn Starr placed first overall in the 5/6 boys race. Quinn Natschke placed first overall in the girls 5/6 race and Lake Buseth placed 1^st overall in the 7/8 boys race. 
 The 7/8 boys team took first as a team and were led by Lake Buseth, Jared Clark, and Tyler Robertson. The girls 7/8 team took 2^nd behind Concord. The girls team was led by Madison Natschke, Noel Nagy, Sophie Debacker, Jackie Rosecrants and Grace Buckland.
Interestingly enough a tree in the woods fell down and almost hit a few of our 6^th grade runners (not kidding) and someone (not from our team) decide to play with a hornets nest, so the 7^th and 8^th grade runners ended up running 2.4 miles instead of 2.  The race had to be diverted to avoid the hornets.
