In the fall of 1972, Glasgow High School added Girls Cross Country to their athletic offerings and by the next season a dynasty was born!  Beginning in 1973, the Glasgow Scotties ran off a Class A State Record eight consecutive State Championships.  A record that still stands today as the longest in Class A history.  
The Scotties dropped to Class B in 1992 and would add another team title soon after in 1993.  Beginning in 2005; a second dynasty bloomed.  It was a run of 7 Class B State Championships in a 9-year span.  In all, the Scottie Girls hold the current All-Class Montana State record with 16 Team titles and a remarkable 28 State team trophies. We are currently on a run of 22 consecutive years finishing in the Top 10 at the State Meet!

Our Scottie Cross Country home meet is held annually in Fort Peck during the last weekend of September and offers the community an opportunity to see our runners in action.
