The Maple Grove Senior High boys cross county team finished up its season third in sections Friday, Oct. 23.
Junior Sean Heaton (6th), sophomore Mitchell Dickerson (7th) and senior Ryan Graham (8th) all qualified for state touranment Saturday, Nov. 3 at Saint Olaf College.
"I couldn't be more proud of our team after their performance today," Coach Nathaniel Uselding wrote in an email to Patch after section meet. "Our goal coming in was to finish in the top two as a team so it's a little bittersweet to qualify three individuals and not the whole team. At the end of the day, we ran extremely well and and hats off to Mounds View and Centennial who ran better than us today. The three boys are excited for next week and are looking to run well at the state meet."
