It is the return to Northbrook Golf Course after a few years away for the cross country team and its signature invitational.

COVID called off last year's Russ Fameree Invitational and course conditions moved the race to the athletic complex where runners had to start on the blacktop of the parking lot before running around the football, softball, and baseball field and finally finishing in an adjacent field. Head coach Katie Waege reflected on what makes the course special last month.
