All McLean High School’s teams headed to Parkhurst Recreation Area in Jamestown on Friday to compete in the ND State Cross County meet.

Turtle Lake Eighth-grader Kensley Ruffo, although young, was an immense asset to the team.
“Kelsey continued to knock down her time throughout the season, and she had a great finish at the state meet finishing in the top 100,” CMC head coach Reganne Hegar said. 
Underwood sophomore Levi Repnow also finished the state meet in the top 100.
 I felt that even though we were a young, small team we were able to hit our goals. My older athletes on the team took the younger ones under their wing and became role models for them to look up to. We had a couple people PR during the season: Kensely Ruffo, Gage Ellis, and Lukas Leppell,” Hegar said. “Kensley continued to knock down her time throughout the season.  and Gage Ellis ran a strong race at the state meet as well. Lukas Leppell ran a strong first season and worked hard throughout the season. Overall, we accomplished some great things this year, and I think we put down a good base to build off in the future.”
