The Waubonsie Valley Men’s Cross Country squad had another record-setting season in 2006, culminating with the Warriors sixth-straight IHSA State Meet appearance. At the State Meet, the Warriors equaled a school best-ever 5^th Place state finish, with a school-record point total and total team time.

Junior Mark Schumacher recorded the best individual Warrior State Time ever (14:59), leading a total-team effort that saw all seven runners break the 16-minute mark for Waubonsie.

The Warriors finished in virtual tie for the Upstate Eight title, with Neuqua Valley at the varsity level. The Wildcats won the trophy that day, but when it really counted at the State Meet -- the Warriors topped their district rivals by over 100 points.

Waubonsie finished 3rd in the conference at the frosh-soph level.
