The Benson-KMS boys and girls cross-country teams are set to open up their seasons Monday, Aug. 25 at the Morris Invitational followed by the Lac qui Parle Invitational, Thursday, Aug. 28.  Coming up later in the year is the Benson Invitational, set for Monday, Oct. 6 on the Benson Golf Course.

The boys team lost four members of last year’s team -- Grant Molden, Isaac Zurn, Zach Maurer, and Joe Eix -- but should still have a chance to place high at meets thanks to the return of its top runner, Josh Bailey.
•  The girls team meanwhile, lost Bethany Rosemeier, Hannah Weber, Leah Tessem, Emily Tostenson, Kelly Saunders, and Ingrid Ahlsen.
