This season is going according to plan for head coach Eric Carlson. Carlsons goal was for all Cub runners to build up their mileage, and see the return in their times. The Lady Cubs are still building toward their goal, but the boys seemed poised to make another run at state.
The Cubs canceled their plans to run today at Eureka, and instead will compete at Osage City this Thursday.
