The girls cross country team from Totino-Grace placed first in their section championship meet to propel them into the state tournament held at St. Olaf College.
However, things did not go quite as smoothly for the Eagles in the state meet as they finished 12th out of 16 teams. On the individual side of things, Michaela Brands led the way for the Totino-Grace girls finishing 68th out of 174 participants.
The Totino-Grace boys team did not qualify collectively for the state tournament but did have an individual participant. Junior runner Joe Loiuselle represented Totino-Grace well by finishing 39th overall out of 176 athletes.
