There was plenty of excitement and joy all around Lindsay this past weekend after Holy Family athletes brought home two individual championships, a state title and an additional team runner-up trophy from the 2008 NSAA Cross Country Championships at Kearney.
If you think the school and community were excited, imagine the jubilation in the Rich Weeder household!
Under Rich’s guidance as Bulldog coach, junior Kevin Weeder and freshman Andrea Weeder swept the Class D individual gold medals - just the second time in history a pair of siblings won cross country state titles in the same season.
With the Weeders leading the way, the Holy Family boys dominated the competition to win the Class D state championship and the Lady Bulldogs placed second to two-time defending champion Crofton.
When asked for comments on Friday’s accomplishments, Weeder happily replied “How many do you want? It’s been the buzz around the house non-stop this weekend!”
