The Arrows finished with a team score of 41 to claim the team title on Saturday, finishing 19 points ahead of the second-place team from Darlington.

Coach Shane Sperle’s River Ridge girls finished seventh of 14 competing teams, and were led by sophomore Leah Patterson, who placed 10th overall with a time of 21:35.8.

She was followed by freshman teammate Eden Thornton (25:37.6), sophomore Kristina Sletten (25:48.0), sophomore McKenzie Taylor (27:03.3) and senior Lydia Mason (27:09.8).

On the boys side, Fennimore captured the team title with a score of 99, finishing 28 points ahead of the second-place team from Albany. The River Ridge boys placed 14th of 15 competing schools with a team score of 298.

Leading the Timberwolves was senior Luke Patterson, who finished 15th of 109 total competitors with a time of 19:01.8. He was followed by senior teammate Colton Moris (20:47.4), senior Wyatt Bausch (21:30.7), junior Luke Breuer (22:36.5) and junior Colton Kirschbaum 23:16.1).
