WCA Cross Country squads both take second at Pelican Rapids today

So who's the rock star? Or who are the rock stars? They would be Kylee Fernholz and the rest of the West Central Area Knights boys/girls cross country team! Kylee led her squad with a 4th-place finish today at the Glenn Moerke Cross Country Invitational in Pelican Rapids. Kyle Toms took runner-up in the boys division. Both the WCA boys and girls squads took 2nd place out of 11 teams!

At Breckenridge on Thursday night, the West Central Area Knights boys cross country team repeated as champions of the Bois de Sioux meet.



Alex Toms finished as runner-up, following his senior brother Kyle Toms across the finish line. The next WCA runner to finish was Neil Hyttsten, who took 12th.

“Kyle once again led the pack from the start and never looked back, unless to check on his brother Alex Toms, who finished in second place,” stated West Central Area head coach John VanKempen. “They have different running styles but both their techniques have proven successful for us so far. Kyle will keep up a strong pace throughout the race, while Alex has the ability to turn it on and off throughout races.”
