The Broadus Cross Country team raced in Joliet last week, for their final regular season race before State. Runners in Joliet for the Lady Hawks included Rebekah Rasmussen, Alix Heacock, and Rheanna Schroeder.

Later in the game Hansen would go down with concussion-like symptoms and leave the field and go to the hospital to be on the safe side. He is doing well,...
