Hayes County Golf Club in Hayes Center was the site for the RPAC Cross Country Invite on Thursday afternoon as Maywood-Hayes Center was the host school. It was pretty hot for a mid-October day but occasionally we could catch a breeze.
Wallace Girls earned their 5th straight RPAC team title. They have become only the third team to clinch five-straight titles behind Dundy County Boys who won five straight (2013-2017), and the Bertrand-Loomis Girls who won six straight (2009-2014). The Bertrand-Loomis Boys also earned the RPAC team title for the second year in a row.
