The #4 moment in Panther sports this school year takes us back to the fall on October 21st when two cross country runners qualified for the class 3A state meet. Norah Pearson, who was regarded as a sure candidate to make the State Meet was able to clinch a spot at the State Qualifier in Pella and Seth Walraven finished just ahead of the cutoff to qualify for the boys on a stormy afternoon. Both told KNIA/KRLS Sports they were happy qualifying for state.

(Seth “…worked out.”) :27

Pearson would go on to finish 17th at the State Meet in Fort Dodge in a time of 19:49 while Walraven placed 77th in a time of 17:42.
