2016 Awards Night

The 2016 Belle Plaine Cross-country season came to an end Thursday evening.  Food was fabulous the turn out was terrific and the captains recognized each participant with a certificate of some sort of achievement.

2016 was an amazing season finishing with a trip to the state meet.  The boys JV streak stayed alive.  They have not been beaten by a single A foe in over two seasons.  The Junior High girls defended their MRC championship with a perfect score.  In an incredible JV girls race at the MRC the ladies went 2-14.  Never before have we dominated that race so completely.  The boys varsity had a great season, winning the Mankato East meet, the I90, and the Buck invitational. They also had a strong showing with three all conference runners at the MRC.  The girls had an outstanding season winning the MRC for the 5th consecutive year.  They were runner up at the section 2A meet to the eventual state champions and competed at the state meet to a 13th place finish.

There were many fun and exciting moments this season and it was a pleasure being part of them.


Congratulations to the special award recipients:  Alexa Lenz and John Morrison (Most Tiger Spirit), Emily Nagel and Drew Hastings (Most Improved Runner), Kellen Bergs and Cassie Stolt (Most Dedicated Runner), Emily Berger and Kyle Siemon (Most Valuable Runner), and Teddy Sellnow Cross-country Special Achievement Award.
