Section 4A Meet Results

Hello,

Thanks to all the family and friends that came out to cheer on your Tri-Hawk runners for the Section 4A Meet at Battle Creek Park yesterday!

Both teams came through with a fantastic effort and have earned a trip to the State Meet next Saturday!

This is the first appearance at State for the Trinity boys team...they were able to hold off a talented Minnehaha Academy squad on Thursday to bring home their first-ever Section 4A title. 

The girls team battled a bunch of ranked teams and were edged by a tough Blake team 61-63 for the Section 4A championship, but they advance to State with their second-place finish and have hopes to defend their Class A State title next Saturday.

Swain Invitational Results

Hello,

It was a strange feeling to be in Duluth for the Swain Invitational and have a beautiful day in the 50s with no rain. 

Tri-Hawk runners embraced the hilly and challenging course again this year.  We have never had so many personal record times at the Swain course, which is a testament to the weather and the toughness of our runners.

If what we had a chance to see from our runners on Saturday is any indication, it should be a very exciting late October/early November for Trinity cross country!

Here are the Trinity CC results from the Swain Invitational:
