On August 29th, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinal published its cross country preview and had some nice things to say about Rufus King.  Highlights;

• The boys' team was ranked fifth.  "A healthy David Stilin could mean good things for the City Conference powerhouse." Link

• David Stilin was mentioned as a runner to watch.  "Stilin missed several weeks after suffering a stress fracture in the third week of last season, but is healthy this year and leads the defending City Conference champions." Link

• The boys' team was mentioned as a strong contender for the City Conference Championship.  "King has finished on top of the league seven of the last eight seasons. Senior David Stilin struggled with an ankle injury last year but still finished 85th at the state meet. Seniors Josh Gilly and Nathaniel Sullivan also return from the team that finished fifth at the WIAA Division 1 state meet, and Paul Bolanowski rounds out a talented senior bunch. School of the Arts/Pulaski/Reagan will look to senior captain Joe Redemann." Link

• The girls' team was also mentioned as a strong contender for the City Conference Championship.  "King has won four straight conference championships. Senior Hope Marshall was the individual league champion last year. Junior Dayleen Flores was a second-team all-conference runner, and junior Olivia Welk joins the varsity after a strong 2008 track season. School of the Arts/Pulaski/Reagan is led by juniors Rose Namajunas, who is also an accomplished martial arts competitor, and Sarah Eucalano, both first-team all-league selections last season." Link

Also, WisconsinXC.com ranks the boys' team as 15th in the state for Division 1.
