Bob Conley Invite...Race Recap

Although it was cold, running conditions were a little more favorable than they have been for the last two years of the Bob Conley Invite. This year, you didn't have to dodge quarter sized snow flakes you only had to run through your own fog every time you exhaled...GREAT DAY for running!
Again I was happy with the overall performance for Soda Springs Cross Country, our tradition and reputation of a great program continues to grow week in and week out. Believe in the impossible and who knows how far we can go!!!
Complete results from the meet can be found at www.idahoxc.com

SODA XC FANS...The Cunningham's showed up ready to cheer on Soda Springs XC sporting their Soda XC Team Shirts.

I could go on and on here, but an overall GREAT JOB goes out to all you young ladies. Team Scores: 1. Soda 21, 2. Sugar 49, 3. Jackson 74, 4. Star Valley 92. I think that I also heard that C.
