Arapahoe hosted the Jim Mather Invite on Wednesday with six RPAC teams in attendance: Alma, Arapahoe, Bertrand, Cambridge, Hi-Line, and Southern Valley. The weather was much cooler than it had been in recent weeks, but one thing remained the same: a little bit of wind. Bertrand's Shelby Schoene earned the Most Outstanding Female Athlete Award, which was voted on by the coaches. Congrats, Shelby! See all of that and more in the blog.
