Quincy, Ill. - The Hannibal-LaGrange Women's Cross Country Team made their season debut in the Great River Opener hosted by Quincy University.  The event took place around the campus of  John Wood Community College. The other teams featured in the contest were Culver-Stockton College, Stephens College, and Quincy University. The weather was great and the support from fans was even better, as each team prepared for the course.  The Trojans entered two teams into the contest and finished in 1st and 3rd out of the five entered team.
