Meet Tidbits:
Canadians Victoria Alexander, Saragh Fraser, Emily Fraser, and Skylar Arpin paced the Lady Bears in the Girls Varsity Race, all finishing in the top 26 of the 112-runner field.
Ten Lake of the Woods-Rainy River runners achieved personal records in Bagley, including all four junior high athletes. Junior Lexi Ubel earned a 36-second PR in the Girls JV race, while 7th grader Sara Achen cut the same amount of time off her junior high race. Junior Zach Olson cut a minute and a half off is previous best 5000-meter time.
Exchange students Melissa Gutekunst, sophomore, and Edward Thome, junior, each completed their first cross country race ever.
A mix-up in the finish chutes prevented Dyson Dahl and Zach Olson from earning points toward the Boys Varsity team standings, but both earned PRs for the distance.

Bryce Palm, Max Kasberger and Amber Stavig were out with knee injuries.
