The Little Chute cross country program will be in a bit of a rebuild in year one of the Don Foley era of the program. Despite the rebuild and the coaching change, the Mustangs still look to be the top half of the conference this fall.
The Kaukauna Galloping Ghosts cross country program is once again looking forward to an exciting season and will be a young team this year after the graduations of runner like Reese Fauske and Jenna Kinas.
The Kimberly Papermakers cross country teams are expecting a competitive year once again in the FVA. The boys team brings back four top 25 runners from the last year’s conference championship, while the girls took fourth in the conference last fall.
Kimberly’s defense shined despite taking a 27-12 loss at home in week one of the 2026 football season. The Papermakers got several defensive stops and cut a 14-0 lead to two before Sussex Hamilton scored two touchdowns in the final two quarters of play.
