Next weekend, the Wolfpack will host the QAMUUQHIN HILL TRAILS race, renowned as one of Alaska’s most challenging cross-country courses. Teams from Elim, Brevig, White Mountain, Shaktoolik, and Teller will compete. This will be the final regular season meet before the Bering Strait School District (BSSD) Conference meet in Golovin the following weekend.
With the state championships just weeks away, the Unalakleet Wolfpack is gearing up for an exciting finish to the season.
