Girls Cross Country Team is Going to State
The Waconia girls cross country team captured the Section 2AAA Championship on Tuesday, October 21, at Gale Woods Farm to qualify for this year's State Meet!
The team's depth was on display as all seven competitors finished inside the Top 20 in the individual standings. Sophomore Avery Hess placed 2nd individually with a time of 18:50. Seventh grader Devin Hess placed 10th, senior Danica Kendrick took 12th, and junior Jaidee Goehring placed 13th. Freshman Hazel Dubbe took 14th place, sophomore Brekken Miller placed 16th, and seventh grader Britt Hendrickson finished in 20th place.
The State Meet will be held on Saturday, November 1, at the University of Minnesota's Les Bolstad Golf Course. This will be the first state meet appearance for the Waconia girls cross country program since 1999, with a nod to the 2020 Wildcat team that won the section championship but had their state meet cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
