Bagpipe Seranade

Part of the tradition of the MIAC Cross Country Championships is that one of the teams takes responsibility for supplying staffing for the meet .  This year was Macalester's turn to run the show at the Como Park golf course and they added  a tartan touch to the opening of the event, a bagpipe player who did a solo concert on the fairway in front of the race starting line.
