The Trojans cross-country team ran in 20 mph winds and through a 25-degree drop in temperature Thursday at meet in Sterling.

“We had great effort and great focus,” coach Robert Haude said. “The kids showed they had some mental fortitude as we had efforts from some of the kids that lead to personal best times, and six runners received medals.”

The Trojans run again Thursday at a league meet in Halstead.
