Wanna talk about a legendary way to end a meet? A coach 4x1 relay! That’s right—these seasoned vets dusted off the running shoes, grabbed the baton (and maybe some Icy Hot), and somehow took first place! Crowd went wild, hamstrings held strong, and pride levels hit an all-time!!

Sioux Falls XC - 21st in the Nation 👏 We are so proud of these boys for their amazing accomplishments in 2024. Our season ended in an epic mud-fest. There were falls and a lower finish than we were hoping for, but we are grateful to have raced among the best in the USA @ NXN!
