Team strengths: Head coach Jerimy Hallsten said persistence and optimism are among the team’s strengths. The team doesn’t have a lot of experience, but has shown a commitment to improving both individually and as a team.
Biggest challenge: “Our section (7A) in general — we have two of the best boys and girls runners in the state and arguably the most talented section in the state top to bottom,” Hallsten said. “Whoever comes out of the section meet this year will make some noise down at the state meet at St. Olaf (College).”
