For the first time in over a decade, the Yellowjacket women's cross country team could classify itself as the home team for a meet. Thursday, they hosted the Dan Conway Classic at Superior's Nemadji Golf Course. The event is named in honor of former Yellowjacket and UW-Superior Athletic Hall of Fame member Dan Conway, who recently passed away.
