The Lady Bronco cross-country team is getting used to being at the top of the leaderboard this season.
The team, once again, demolished their opponents at the Wheeler Stampede last week and topped the field with big finishes in the two-mile race. They towered over second place Wellington by 24 points out of a field of 52 competitors.
