For Mid-Prairie cross country coach Mark Hostetler things look bright for his girls’ team. The entire team went to state last year finishing sixth and virtually everyone is back from last year’s team.

The Mid-Prairie coach is looking for big things again from this year’s squad, led by sophomore Anna Hostetler, who took sixth place in last year’s state meet. Hostetler says improving on last years finish at state this year won’t be easy, as several other teams return a large number of runners from last year.

Mid-Prairie cross country opens the season on September 1st, with a trip to Williamsburg.
