Class 3A Sub-States
HUTCHINSON — The Bennington High School girls cross country team is out to prove they are the best team in 2A. After taking third at state last year, the Bulldogs are currently ranked No. 1 in the coaches poll.
The Bulldogs began their postseason at Thursday’s Heart of America League Cross Country Meet hosted by Trinity Catholic.
Bennington took first as a team with three top-five finishes, four top-10 finishes, and seven top-15 finishes.
UPDATE: Elliott had four tackles, including three solo, in the Hoosiers 38-31 win over Nebraska on Saturday. The victory was the Hoosiers' first over Nebraska since 1959 and the win gives IU the first three-game Big 10 win streak since 1993. The 6-2 start is the Hoosiers' best since a 7-1 start in that same 1993 season, according to IUHoosiers.com's Pete DiPrimio.
