It was a busy week for Clear Lake cross country, competing in Algona and at Wartburg College on Saturday.
At Algona the team saw a little bit of a different look as the varsity runners were rested.
See last week’s edition for the full results from Algona.
On Saturday, however, the Lions were back in full force on both sides of the team, competing at Wartburg College were 42 girls teams competed and 49 boys teams.
All teams were allowed to have 10 runners in the varsity race as well.
