BC’s Varsity Cross Country team competed at the New Prairie Invitational Saturday. Nearly 100 teams traveled North to one of the nations top ranked courses. Featuring almost 2,000 athletes, including most of the state qualifying runners, and schools ranging from A to AAA participated in the 9 races. Both of our teams fared well at this unique and difficult course.
