For the Tomahawk Leader
WAUSAU – The Tomahawk Middle School cross country teams recently lined up amongst over 550 other competitors at the Junior Smiley Invitational.

The Lady Hatchet squad was led once again by medalist Charlee Lund, who took home a 10th place medal for her efforts with a time of 14:15 over the two-mile course.
