Skyline Thunderbirds finish strong in home cross country meet

The 18th Annual Skyline Invitational was run on Saturday, September 13, to a large and enthusiastic crowd in Pratt. At the 10 a.m. start, the weather was perfect, overcast with a slight breeze. The course was in tip-top shape, green and lush from weeks of rain and manicured to perfection. There were 30 middle school and high school teams in attendance, with 3 of the top four teams from last year’s 1A state championship at the meet, so competition was fierce.
