Panorama is in the midst of unprecedented success in girls cross country, as the Panthers have made the state meet every year since 2012. The past two seasons have been exceptional, 2017 saw the Panthers finish runner-up in Class 1A and 2018 saw Panorama finish 7th in Class 2A.

A trio of juniors will lead the Panthers into the 2019 season. That trio includes sisters Gwen and Olivia Steffen, and 4th-place finisher in 2018, Ella Waddle. Panorama only graduates two runners who competed at the state meet in Fort Dodge in 2018, seniors Brooklyn Behrends and Jaelyn Waddle. Other returning runners who competed at state include sophomore Payton Beckman and senior Chloe Webster.

The Panthers open their 2019 season at the Gilbert Invitational at the Iowa State Cross Country Course on Thursday, August 30th.
