Welcoming Home the National Champions

Dixon welcomes home the Dixon Rugby Club, who won the national championship over Penn High School over the weekend in Utah.

The Dixon Rugby Club showed up in Utah and played their hearts out against a well-trained Penn High School team, earning them a USA National Championship at the U19 single high school level. 

And as the team made its way back home to Dixon, a welcome home celebration was brewing in Dixon, as the team's family members, friends and supporters gathered at the old Pardi Market site on the corner of East A and South First streets to welcome home the champs.
