Ipswich will begin its 2022 high school cross country campaign under coach Todd Thorson on August 26 in Pierre.
Then their home invite on September 10 should be one of the highlights this year. It will start at 10 a.m. at Split Rock. Another tournament will also be hosted by Ipswich at Split Rock and that will be the LRC invite on October 5. And that event can be very competitive!
