The Prairie du Chien Cross Country team traveled to the Tri-City Golf Course in Luana last Thursday for the annual MFL MarMac Invitational and came back with a third place team finish in the girls race and a first place finish in the boys race.

Leading the Hawks in the girls race were Kate Gebhard (24:20) and Tannah Radloff (24:32) who finished in 10th and 11th place respectively. Allison Mathies placed 18th (25:34), Karly Kramer was 22nd (26:05), Madi Coffield in 27th (28:58), Autumn Ziegler  in 53rd (32:12) and Chaya Blackburn in 57th place (34:39)as the Hawks scored 87 points in taking third place.

The Prairie boys team, led by a second-place finish by Sam Kramer in 17:55, scored 24 points to win their first full invitational since Sept. 25, 2014, when the Hawks won the six-team Richland Center Invitational with 32 points (technically the Hawks did win the 2021 River Ridge Invite with 27 points but that invite only featured three teams).

Following Sam Kramer was Spencer Foley in sixth place (19:02), Treyton Reames in eighth place (19:41), Garrett DeHart in ninth place (20:03.28), Landon Smith in 10th place (20:03.86), Lane Henderson in 27th place (21:30), Joey Kramer in 34th place (22:54), Finn Stafford-Johnson in 51st place (25:10), Caleb Mezera in 55th place (26:49) and Drew Becwar in 67th place (30:26).

The Hawks traveled to Boscobel last night for the Ryan Zimpel Memorial Meet before they go to Spring Green this Saturday for the River Valley Invitational.
