Cadott Cross Country Banquet 2025 Recap
We had fun celebrating an unforgettable season for Cadott Cross Country, from our youngest middle school runners to our state-competing high school athletes, this team showed what effort, accountability, and unity can earn.
Season Highlights: This year was one for the record books!
Our middle school teams dominated all season, four runner-up finishes and two meet championships for the boys, and six runner-up finishes for the girls! Their progress, energy, and team spirit have us excited for the future of Cadott XC.
Our high school team built on summer work and took things to another level: eight first-place finishes, a Conference Title, a Sectional Title, and the best State finish in program history! This team embodied what it means to run for each other.

Special Recognition
We also honored three remarkable contributors who helped shape this program:
Coach Weiss–for 23 years of leadership and coaching
Coach Rothbauer–for 10 years of coaching and continued support
Coach Hetke–for pushing our athletes to new levels through early-morning strength and conditioning, all year round.
As coaches, we are grateful. This season wasn't just about fast times. It was an opportunity for us to demonstrate character, humility, and camaraderie.
Thanks to everyone for their contributions and help tonight at the awards banquet and all season! We feel so grateful to be part of this wonderful Cross Country family! Here’s to continuing the legacy and running for something bigger than ourselves.
