The Lady Dawgs, defending Regional Champions, faced a new challenger this year - Bennington. After seeing two athletes sidelined because of injuries in the last few weeks, the Bulldawgs were not at full strength in numbers and fell just short in defending their title. Bennington took the team title with 51 points, while Rossville was Regional Runner-Up with 54 points. The Top Three Teams qualify for State, so the Lady Dawgs will be headed to Wamego next Saturday, November 2nd - looking to improve upon last year's 4th place finish.

On the Boy's side, it was an exciting race, with Zach Archer and Sam Twombly running side-by-side for a large portion of the race, within the Top-10. Plagued by a side-stitch, Sam Twombly dropped off pace in the last mile and finished 16th, out of state qualifying position. Zach Archer was running strong, but lost a few positions in the final half-mile, moving into 11th place by the finish. Because of the variability of state qualifiers in cross country, there was still a chance he could qualify, but no additional runners outside the top 10 ended up being accepted. The Boy's team will continue to improve greatly in years to come, with 3 freshmen and 2 sophomores in the ranks.
