Over the course of the past few years the cross country coaches in Minnesota have been debating the pros and cons of lengthening the girls’ cross country race from 4K to 5K. In the end it was put to a vote and the distance was changed. For the first time both the boys’ and the girls’ would run 5K.

The Raiders were no stranger to this distance as they have competed in the Roy Griak Invitational for years.

This has been a great opportunity for the team to set new personal records and push themselves.
