The hills of Valders are calling the Luxemburg-Casco and Sturgeon Bay cross country teams as they prepare to run the Bob Burzynski 36th Annual XC Invite.

 

Luxemburg-Casco's first time racing at night was a fruitful one for the cross country team as the boys took third and the girls finished in 7th at Friday's Nightfall Classic 920. Ezra Treml led the boys' team with a fifth-place finish at a time of 15:55. Zach Tassoul cracked the 17-minute barrier to finish in the Top 15. Claire DuChateau carried the torch on the girls' side, taking second place with a time of 18:24.

 

For the Clippers, Rio Martinez finished the Nightfall Classic 920 in 27th with a season PR of 17:55, and Delaney Skiba came in 23rd with a season PR of 20:54.

 

Host Valders, Brillion, Denmark, Elkhart Lake-Glenbeulah, Howards Grove, and Plymouth will also run in the meet that begins at 4 p.m. The meet will also feature the district's middle school teams. Luxemburg-Casco Middle School ran on Tuesday at Denmark's Neshota Park.
