The Rossville Dawgs Cross Country team competed at Hoyt City Park for the Royal Valley Cross Country Invitational on Thursday, September 24th. Covid-19 has certainly made its impact within Kansas cross country, notably with the University of Kansas' cancelling of their high-profile Rim Rock Cross Country Invitational that was slated for Saturday, September 26th. With that cancellation, teams were forced to search for other meets to attend, and Royal Valley's attendance increased as a result. Due to the increased numbers, they decided to spread out the competition by starting each age group separate 30 minutes apart from 3:00 to 6:30
With temperatures in the mid to upper 80's, this made for a long, hot afternoon of racing. In addition to the heat, the high school 5k course ended up being 350 meters too long, which skewed results and impacted team rankings for week 4. The Dawgs prevailed and competed strongly nonetheless.
7th Grade Girls: Makenna Hensley - (15th)
7th Grade Boys: Gabe Fund - (17th)
Varsity Girls - 3rd place out of eight teams behind Santa Fe Trail and Wamego: Julia Streit (1st). Amelia Foster (4th). Audrie Davis (15th). Cassie Fund (27th). Reagan Wonnell (37th). Keera Lacock (42nd).
Varsity Boys - Sam Twombly (19th). Wade Twombly (50th). Hayden Sanders (55th). Bronc Reser (64th).
