We had been waiting for Conference the whole year. It was what we trained for and what we strived for. From the minute the season began, we have been doing everything with the intent of winning conference. The week before everybody was on edge. Nobody wanted to get injured, but unfortunately conference coincided with homecoming week, so kickball was off limits. Never the less the team had a fun wednesday at the annual Schroeder spaghetti dinner. Now to talk about the race, we swept every race but boys varsity. But we were still close, last year we got 3rd but this year we moved up to 2nd place. Also 3 out of 10 of the top guys were wearing a Belle Plaine jersey. Boys JV dominated their race taking the top 7 spots. Eighth-grader Elliot Ruud won the race with a time of 17:48.30. Senior Janessa Meulners won her race as usual and all together the Varsity girls won in a very close race over NYA 43-47. JV girls won by a whopping 19 points and 7th grader Emily Berger place second with a great time of 17:05.90. For JH boys Eighth graders Mikkel Schmidt and Jesse Barringer, took 3rd and 4th place respectively. JH girls also had a great race and Jamie Zahn won her 3000m race with a time of 13:25.10. All together Belle Plaine XC did amazing. Next year we will come back and hopefully sweep the entire meet. With a lot of hard work and determination, it is easily a possible achievement. So until next year, work hard and run harder!
