The Loyal-Greenwood runners had to face some late September heat as they competed on Sept. 20 in Cadott. The runners persevered through the warm weather conditions to finish their races, albeit with slightly slower times.
The Greyhound girls had eight runners compete at Cadott, and their efforts as a team led to a sixth-place finish.
