Last weekend, on a gray day in Burnsville Minnesota, Blaze Cross Country Girls readied themselves for a 4k race at the Nicollet Junior High School. A 4k is a 4 kilometer race, or roughly 2.5 miles. The race consisted of a two loop course around the back baseball fields, soccer fields, trails and playground equipment at the Nicollet Junior High. At 3:45 J.V. (Junior Varsity) lined up to the starting line and ran at the sound of the official race gun firing off. Following the Varsity girl runners at 4:30, each race consisted of 9-10 other teams competing for the winning spot of the Burnsville Invitational. Results showed that the Blaze Cross Country Girls obtained first in both Junior Varsity and Varsity races. This victory was huge success to the team, coaches and the families of the runners.
The team looks forward to their next race at Prior Lake on Thursday, September 26.
