Over the last four seasons no team has equaled the amount of success Sun Prairie has at the WIAA State Girls Cross Country Championships. That’s why missing this year’s state meet, abbreviated as it is due to COVID-19, still leaves an empty feeling throughout the program.
The Cardinals as a team had qualified for the previous seven WIAA State Meets, held annually at The Ridges Golf Course in Wisconsin Rapids. Following a third-place finish in 2014 and a fourth in 2015, Sun Prairie stood atop the podium in both 2016 and 2017 as Division 1 state champions.
