“Last Friday the Leafs traveled across the river to compete in the PV Invite. This is a very competitive meet, as the Iowa schools always have great teams! The boys were runner-ups by only 5 points to a very good PV team! Medaling for the boys are Will Ehlert (3rd), Kyle Wirth (6th), Henry Woodward (8th), and Drake Burton (10th). The girls finished 8th as a team and almost every runner had a personal best - way to go to all of our runners! This week the Leafs have a meet at Glenview and Sterling - good luck to everyone competing!
