Cross Country is a team sport offered in the fall for both boys and girls. It is a sport that encourages both individual and team participation and can be a lifelong activity. This is a cooperative program between Cleveland and Mankato Loyola. We have had this co-op in place since 2012. The Cross Country teams have had tremendous success over the years with six conference titles, four State Meet appearances, and numerous All-State and Academic All-State individual winners since the co-op has been in place. Our athletes have fun, train hard, and run well. By bringing a positive attitude to practice daily, our athletes are set up to achieve their goals in this great sport.

The Minnesota River Bulldogs are a multi school co-op consisting of Cleveland, Saint Peter, TCU, Le Sueur-Henderson & Belle Plaine. We play out of the Le Sueur Community Center, and compete in the Big South Conference in Section 1A. Our goal is to learn how to work as a team to compete and achieve a common goal. Players are expected to be upstanding citizens both in and out of school. We hold our players to high expectations and expect them to follow through. As a member of the Bulldog hockey program we strive to teach these young men that there is more to life than being a good athlete.

The Minnesota State High School Clay Target League is a member of the USA High School Clay Target League, a division of the USA Clay Target League – a non-profit corporation. The League is the independent provider of clay target shooting sports as an extracurricular co-ed and adaptive activity for high schools and students in grades 6 through 12. The League's priorities are safety, fun, and marksmanship – in that order.

We believe that…

• Safe and responsible handling and storage of firearms and ammunition is the first priority.

• Everyone should have fun.

• Participation is a privilege and not a right.

• Sportsmanship needs to have a constant presence.

• Students should have an equal opportunity to participate.

• Ethical behavior, dignity and respect are expected.

• Participants will be chemically free.

• Collaborative relationships with schools and students create a positive experience.

• Academic priorities must come before participation.

• Adults must serve as a positive role model to students.

• The success of the team is more important than individual honors.

• Gun clubs are critical to the success of the League and are positive business leaders in their community.

• Compliance with school, community, gun club and League rules are essential for all participants.

• Shooting sports strengthens connections within families and communities for life.

• Everything the League does will always be in the best interest of the students.
