Good afternoon(if it’s not afternoon for you, it’s afternoon for somebody elsewhere) Slinger High. Today I will discuss the concluding results of this years Slinger Cross Country, lead by Mr. Strand.

As of the result of the Cross Country for Males, they had multiple invitational wins involving our home meet known as the Owl Invitational. Slinger Boys Cross Country earned third in conference, with 5 selected runners for all-conference. The all conference runners included: Cael Grotenhuis, Noah Jagielski, Aaron Simays, Tyler Ott, and Evan Sievers. The boys also placed first at the Sectional Championship in Manitowoc. Last but not least, they placed 11th at State with the best team finish in school history.

As of the result for the Cross Country for the girls, they won the Owl Invitational as well. Of the many runners, two were selected for the all conference team: Makaila Groves and Paige Fassbender. The Girls also took third at sectionals and the top two teams made it to State. They were defeated by West Bend West by 5 more points. Makaila Groves was the sole member of the girls team to qualify for State, and was observed to be the “Lord of Haste” from Washington County in the State meet.

This concludes 2018’s Cross Country results for Slinger. Have yourself a stellar day.
