On September 17th, the Platteville cross country team traveled to Lancaster for their first dual meet of the season. Platteville pulled out the win for both the girls and the guys, earning them a conference win and making them one step closer to being conference champs.
Saturday, September 21, was a weekend off from racing for the cross country team, so the coaches took the opportunity to hold the famous, annual Spider T-Shirt Rally. Everyone brings in a t-shirt and puts it in a pile; then the coaches split the cross country team up into groups of four, determined by runners’ race times so that the teams are as equal as possible. Each team member runs a different distance and hands off to his or her teammate, like a relay. Members of the winning team get to choose a t-shirt from the pile first, second goes second, and so on. Once everyone has their shirt, it’s donut time. Everyone has a blast and loves the friendly competition.
This coming Tuesday, September 24th, Platteville hosts the second dual meet of the season against Dodgeville/Mineral Point (Dodge Point). Dodge Point is the defending conference champion team and state champion team from last year, so Tuesday’s race should be fast paced and intense.
