At a rainy, wet region race this afternoon, our boys and girls team did really well.
The boys raced first. Southwest has 3 boys making it to state meet at St. Olaf next Saturday. Junior Sam Sinkler , seniors Vince Puzak and Austin Knowlton all qualified for state meet. Our team including seniors Gus Metzdorff, Andrew McGillivary and Eric Holm, plus junior Micahel Gaines helped beat another higher ranked team, coming in 4th. Only Stillwater ranking #1 is outside of our region in the top 6 teams. We should be ranked 5th in the state in the final ranking.
The girls also did very well with junior Anna Ryden making to state individually.
In addition, both boys and girls team won academic team gold awards. Girls team GPA average is 3.97 and Boys team GPA average is 3.85.
Sam Sinkler, Vince Puzak and Anna won individual academic all state by having a 3.75 GPA or higher plus finishing in the top 15 at region this afternoon.
Our boys and girls worked really hard. The main reason for our success this season is the hard work all the seniors were willing to put in this summer.
