Boys Cross Country History & Champions
Boys cross country was not adopted into the conference until 1966 (1966-67 school year). There is a one-day meet to establish the conference winner. That first year found Henry-Senachwine at the top for the conference first place trophy. Cross country is held in the fall season and has to “compete” with the other fall sports for athletes.
This has led to many “slim” teams throughout the years. Many co-op teams were formed to have enough athletes for teams. And much like the track teams in the spring, there were years where there weren’t enough teams for conference awards.
