The Marion cross country team hosted a meet Tuesday.
?The weather was wonderful, and it was a fantastic afternoon,? coach Rebecca Hofer said. ?Thanks to everyone who came out to support the Marion cross country team. I loved seeing everyone out there.
?As a team, we ran very well. We came away with six new PRs. As a team, we also earned nine medals. The runners who didn?t PR or medal still ran great races, and I hope to see us all continue to improve.?
