2025 XC SEASON BEGINS AUGUST 18TH
Necedah XC traveled to Viroqua to compete at the Viroqua Invitational. This course is normally hot with little to no shade, which makes it challenging. This year, it was unseasonably cool, which allowed our runners to drop a significant amount of time from last year. We ran into some timing issues, but our athletes remained focused on their goals. We left the meet with a 1st place finish, a 9th place finish, and a 20th place finish. Delilah Hedden set a new course record, breaking her previous record from the year before. Great job, Cardinals!
