The 2023 Fighting Irish XC team is just one month away from the beginning of their quest to return to the state finals. It has been three years since the guys team made it down to state as a team. Last year was the first year in 14 years the ladies did not make it to the state finals as a team. After a great three day summer camp full of team bonding and many runs with hills, the 46 young men and women are more determined than ever to reclaim their position as a state team. This year’s theme is F.I.R.S.T (Fighting Irish Return to the State Tournament).
