Practice began Monday for the International Falls boys and girls cross country teams with most of the girls team members who were part of the last year’s state-qualifying squad in Class A back in 2012.

The Broncos have their first meet of the season on Aug. 27. Falls’ teams will host only one meet this season when they will be competing Oct. 11 at the Falls Country Club in the Hial Pike Cross Country Meet.
