Kee cross country girls run to third consecutive State Meet qualification in championship fashion; Junior Chris Wagner becomes first Kee boys State qualifier since 1994 season
A trip to the season grand finale was on the line at the Class 1A State Qualifying Cross Country Meet hosted by Cedar Falls High School Thursday, October 24, and for the first time since anyone can recall, and quite possibly ever, both the Kee girls and boys cross country programs will each be represented at the season-climaxing Class 1A State Cross Country Meet in the same year. The Hawk girls earned their third consecutive State Meet team qualification in championship fashion at the Cedar Falls State Qualifier, while the Hawk boys were headlined by the individual State Meet qualification earned by junior Chris Wagner.
The qualifying cross country Hawks will now compete in their respective Class 1A State Meet races this Saturday, November 2, with that Class 1A girls race set to begin at 2 p.m. and the Class 2A boys race starting at 2:30 p.m. at Lakeside Municipal Golf Course about seven miles north of Fort Dodge. The season grand finale is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. with the Class 4A girls race, with the Class 4A boys slated to begin at 11:30 a.m. That same schedule trend, every half hour, is planned to play out for Class 3A, 2A and then 1A girls followed by their respective boys races, with the Class 1A Awards Ceremony slated to be held after the Class 1A boys race, at approximately 3 p.m. Fellow Allamakee County cross country squad, the Waukon girls cross country team, will also be competing that day in the Class 2A race scheduled for 1 p.m.
