(By Coach Kerri Conn) The Tiger cross country team has worked hard over the summer and they have been preparing for meets during the first three weeks of practice.
Hartington-Newcastle meet They went to the first meet of the 2025 season in Hartington at the Hartington Country Club on Aug. 28, running a 5K race.
The Tigers ran well for their first meet of the season. Two Tigers medalled, along with the other three
runners racing to the finish with good times.
Medalists were Mason True, 10th place, running 20:24 and Jack Berg, 13th place, running 20:38.
