With the Goldenrod Conference Tournament and subdistricts just around the corner, the Nebraska Christian Eagles are one of the hottest teams in Class D2. Two weeks prior, the Eagles rattled off seven consecutive wins while dropping just one set in the process.

It was a clean sweep for Nebraska Christian at last Thursday’s Goldenrod Conference Cross Country Meet in Fullerton. In both the boys’ and girls’ races, the Eagles bested the field for the overall team title while Grace Nokelby and Jacob Swanson took home top honors individually.
