Correction
There was an error in a story about the Box Elder High School girls cross country team in this week’s edition.
In researching the team’s history, head coach Jeff Rawlins missed that the school’s girls cross country team won state in 1990, when Box Elder High School was in the 3A classification.
We regret the error.
