Jada Goeson finished in 19th place to lead the Eagles and Simon Snyder was the top runner for the boys.  This season NY Mills has been able to consistently have  complete varsity teams for both boys and girls.

”It is exciting to see our runners improving and cutting their times. Some runners have reduced their race times by over 5 minutes! You can see that the hard work they put in at practice really helps. I expect even better things from them as the season continues,” said head coach Greg Esala after the meets. 

This week the Eagles compete on Thursday in a meet hosted by Pillager.
