CROSS COUNTRY

While the conditions were a little wet for spectating, they were perfect for competing! At last night’s first conference meet of the season (vs Michigan Center and Hanover Horton), most of the boys and girls team ran season or personal best times! The girls ran first, clinching wins against both Center and Hanover. The girl’s team was led by Ava Viegelahn, finishing in first place with a big personal best time of 19:58. Viegelahn was followed by the scoring spots of Maddy Basham (sb 21:27), Grace Bullock (pr 21:37), Isabel Spencer (sb 23:04), and Maddie Jenks (pr 24:03). Ella Easterday (sb 26:18), Claire Foster (pr 26:45), Maggie Jenks (pr 27:54), and Lorelai Malinowski (pr 30:13) rounded out the girl’s team.

The boys had equal efforts, but were not successful at securing a win. The boys team was led by Matt Rankin, finishing in 3rd place and a personal best time of 17:37. Matt was followed by the scoring spots of Josh Postuma (pr 20:04), Wyatt Boteler (pr 20:41), David Maynard (pr 20:52) and Jackson Byers (pr 21:03). Ruben Spencer (sb 22:16), Malachi Tucker (pr 23:15), Elijah Maitland (26:29), Seth Neey (pr 26:32), and Aaron Herrera (29:46) rounded out the boys team.
