SAINT CROIX FALLS, WI – The start of the Spring Valley cross country season came in with a bang, literally. The Cardinals recently ran at the Saint Croix Falls Invite last week, adjusting starting times to avoid the big storm that swept through the area. The squads got the meet in, barely, and the ride home included a few stops to seek shelter, but everyone made it home safely.
“Let’s hope we do not have one of those evenings again,” said Head Coach Chelsey Rickets. “I thought we ran well under the circumstances of high humidity and heat throughout this week.”
The girls’ team finished in sixth place out of seven teams. D-SC rival Boyceville looked tough, capturing first place with 40 points followed by Cameron (57), Somerset (71), Saint Croix Falls (96), Ladysmith (105), Spring Valley (155) and Clear Lake (172).
