Sabre Alumni & Friends Cross Country Meet - August 3rd, 2024

2nd Annual - Sabre Alumni & Friends Cross Country Meet - August 3rd, 2024
Benefitting the Sartell CC Team and the Rustie Froemming Memorial CC Scholarship

Register today for the inaugural Sabre Alumni & Friends Cross Country meet! The goals of the meet are to celebrate our great Sabre CC tradition and family, connect with old teammates and coaches, and have fun competing on the old home course!

The Alumni CC meet will serve as a fundraiser for the the Sabre CC team, including new uniforms. The meet will also benefit the Rustie Froemming Memorial CC Scholarship. Coach Froemming, who died unexpectedly in 2020, was integral to the success of the Sabre CC program and the personal/athletic success of many alumni.
