KAUKAUNA — The Kaukauna Galloping Ghosts girls cross country team has had a solid four-year run at the WIAA state cross country championships, pun intended.
The team finished second in the Stevens Point Sectional to return to state, while Andrew Milhans qualified for a trip to state from the boys team.
The girls team is hoping for another state title in the past four years after they won the title in 2020, finished 6th in 2022 and third a year ago.
Muskego, the defending team champion in Division 1, returns a squad with three runners that participated at state last year.
Kaukauna is one of four other teams that have qualified that finished in the top 10 a year ago, including Slinger (2nd), De Pere (9th) and Holmen (10th).
Of these, Slinger and Kaukauna have the most returning runners with six, followed by De Pere with four and Neenah with three.
The Ghosts are sending these seven runners for the girls team:
| 959 | Sydney Fauske | 12 |
| 960 | Reese Fauske | 10 |
| 961 | McKenna Lowe | 11 |
| 962 | Jenna Kinas | 10 |
| 963 | Kyla Laabs | 11 |
