State Meet

Saturday morning is the State Cross Country Meet and Ruby will be competing at 12:15pm as Lachlan and Owen will be running at 1:00pm.  We will have a bus for our runners that are wanting to go down to watch and support Ruby, Lachlan and Owen.  That bus will leave at 10:00am.

The races will be held this year at the U of M Les Bolstad Golf Course, the same location as the Roy Griak Invite.  Know that parking on site is not available and that you will need to park at the State Fair Grounds.  Please click on this link on where to park and go through the info below if intend to drive down:
