For the first time in program history, both the Lynx boys and girls took a step on the podium at Saturday’s AA state cross country championships. The season-ending event was run on familiar turf at Yankton Trails Park in Sioux Falls.
If the McHardy Park course isn’t enough to test runners, Thursday’s bitter temperatures and windy conditions and the Lincoln Patriots all combined were enough to take the Metro Conference titles out of reach.
When it comes to the cross-country trail, where there’s one Wentzy sister, there’s likely to be another. And. On most race days, you’ll find the pint-sized Lady Lynx runners at the front of the pack.
There’s a first time for everything, and for the Lady Lynx cross country team, their title win at Saturday’s Huron Invitational was a first for the program.
