Lake Conference Cross Country Season
     Wow, what a season of cross country! 2014 has been another great year of cross country teams in the Lake Conference. Many people have ran personal best times and many teams have experienced all-time highs. From the beginning, this season looked like it would be a fast one. A lot of runners are returning from outstanding cross country and track seasons last year. Next week the season will conclude at the state cross country meet at Saint Olaf College in Northfield. It is setting up to be a great finish to the 2014 season.
Preseason
      Going into 2014 it looked like Wayzata had the potential to sweep both the boys and girls Class AA State Championships this year. The boys entered the season the preseason number one ranked team (Class AA Boys XC Coach’s Rankings for October 20, 2014), while the girls’ team was number two in the preseason behind Willmar (Class AA Girls XC Coach’s Rankings for October 20, 2014.) They also had four individual runners ranked in the preseason poll. Connor Olson of Wayzata started the boy’s season ranked number one ahead of Joe Klecker of Hopkins, Micah Mather of Highland Park and teammates Ian Eklin and Jaret Carpenter (Class AA Boys XC Coach’s Rankings for October 20, 2014.) For the girls’ team senior Anna French started the season ranked in the number six position. It was no doubt going into the season Wayzata had the potential to sweep both the boys and girls state championships this fall (Class AA Girls XC Coach’s Rankings for October 20, 2014.)
