HAMMOND, WI – Last Saturday, September 6, 2025, the Spring Valley Cross Country team had perfect running weather here at the St. Croix Central Invitational and the team ran some of their best races. The boys’ team finished second in the meet overall and every runner on the girls’ team improved their time from the first meet.
“We put up wonderful times and I believe we now have a spark under us for what is to come this season,” said Head Coach Chelsey Ricketts. “The goal moving forward with the boys is to increase our speed in the second half of the race. We had a tough week of workouts last week, and their showing did not disappoint.”
The boys’ team placed second in the team scoring behind the host team. St. Croix Central finished with 54 points with the Cardinals just behind in second place with 80 points, followed by Somerset (104), Boyceville (106), Ellsworth (107), Baldwin-Woodville (131), Chetek-Weyerhaeuser (157) and Glenwood City (not enough runners to qualify for a team score).
