The Varsity Girls ran very smart races not going out to hard in the heat and letting the other teams set the early pace.

He out kicked Eric for the victory in the excellent time of 16:34. Eric improved his time on the same course 1 minute 31 seconds! Walker Grimshaw 12th, had a great day as well improving his time 1 minute 14 seconds! First timers on the course, Taylor Molenaar 11th and Kenton Freemuth running his first high school cross country race in 22nd, continue to improve everyday and will really come on as the season progresses. Tim Ronan 16th is learning to make pain his friend and will improve a great deal by the end of the season. Seth Hull 38th put in a very good effort and will only get better as he runs more.
