The team finished in a tie for third in the Conference and alone in third in the Conference meet. Another good meet for the team was a strong second place finish in the All-Lutheran Invitational held at Milwaukee Lutheran. The team is still youngg con- sisting mainly of juniors and sophomores, but many of the team have two or or three years of exper- ience .
