KG coach Paul Andersen said he was very happy with how his team ran. Andersen said they were the only Class C school against Class AA, but said the competition was good for his team.
It was just a great start for our team, said Andersen.
Everybody improved from last year and Andersen said that was the most important thing.
Next weekend the KouGars travel to the Flathead Invitational. Flathead Valley is ranked No. 2 in the nation. Andersen said it should be a good test for his team and said it should be a fun race.
