On Thursday the Ashby-Brandon-Evansville cross country teams competed in the John Hermes Invitational at Fergus Falls. “When we first arrived at the meet, the team was a little overwhelmed with the teams at the meet,” commented A-B-E Head Coach Robert Bosma. “We normally do not run against teams like Alexandria or North Fargo, so it was understandable for the team to be anxious. With that being said, they ran really well. We talked all week about how Fergus is a challenging course with some big hills and tough competition. The team met the challenge and many ran their season best. One of the things we say often throughout the year is everyone has to do the same thing, but only the weak-minded are affected by the hills, or weather, or whatever else. I was impressed with how they attacked the hills and ran with confidence.”
