Merrill HS Cross Country

We are starting our Run the Ball event today! Our team takes turns running the homecoming ball from our opponents school (Rhinelander) to our high school!

The route is 25.9 miles long and each athlete has to run 1.5 miles, however, most athletes run over 3 miles.

The seniors will then run the ball into the high school to "kick off" the homecoming assembly!

Last night our Merrill Cross Country team had a dual with Antigo. The course is beautiful, but very hilly and rough, and our athletes did great! We brought home 6 medals and won the dual! 💙🏅
