Cross Country State 2009

At the Wisconsin Rapids State Cross Country meet, both the CG-B boys and girls teams did excellent. Josh Mulloy took home his second individual State Champion medal for Division 3, and Joel Merritt was second on the team with an eighth place finish. The boys team brought home CG-B’s first ever championship trophy at a state event. They won with The Prairie School in second place. Marina Paul led the girls team with a seventh place finish, one away from the medal stand, and Kiera Depies was eleventh overall. The girls team was the Division 3 runner-up behind Edgar, only one point away from taking first. At the end of the season Mr. Wood said, “It was an unbelievable season in many ways, but with quite believable state results. Combining a load of talent with hard work will make things happens. And they did happen with CG-B’s first team State championship coming from the men, and, within a fraction of a second, the ladies matching that accomplishment.” The Rockets had a great season this year and hope for many more to come!
