“It was a cool day to run and the boys raced with heart,” commented Fergus Falls Head Coach Derek Meyer. “They left all on the course. A great ending to such a great season. Conrad Lobb led our team with great racing on the course. Luke Schroeder had a season best and finished the season off with admiration. Jaden Miller had an outstanding season, it was hard at times to believe he is only an 8th grader. Logan Bredenberg also had a great race. Logan is a strong runner and has been a consistent top athlete for our team since the first day of practice. Kolsen Papon finished the season strong and provided our team the leadership and guidance in all the right ways.”

8AA consisted of 16 teams. With COVID restrictions they were limited to racing 4 teams at a time. In the Otters race session they ran against Foley, Becker and Detroit Lakes.
