Wolverine runners looking for a break in the weather

Weiser High School’s cross country season is about to get underway. A total of nine competitions are on the schedule, starting with the New Plymouth Invite on Friday Aug. 23, beginning at 5:30 p.m. Coaches and runners alike are holding out high hopes for a break in the area’s 95 plus degree temperatures and relief from wildland fire smoke that has affected the valley and beyond air quality for over a month.
