The Badger girls cross country team earned third
agt the district meet October 20 at Priest
River's Ranch Club Golf Course. The boys won
district and Intermountain League titles and
advanced to the state championship meet, being
held today in Boise.
Most of the girls, led by junior Aimee Sayers,
managed to run personal bestsw on the hilly golf
course last Thursday.
"The peaked at the right time, and they ran
well," said coach Paul Bonnell. "I was pleased
with the individual and team effort, even if the
results weren't what the girls had hoped for."
Seniors Katy Hiatt and Katrina Svec bested their
personal records by several seconds over five
kilometers. Lily York and Jordan Merz, Bonnell
said, ran gutsy, challenging races to finish in
the number two and three spots on the varsity
team.
"Sayers, York and Merz are already motivated for
next season," Bonnell said.
Nonnie Stofiel, who had just set a personal best
at the Coeur d'Alene Charter small schools meet,
and Elise Couplet rounded out the varisty girls.
Couplet and Marie Chary ran personal bests in
what is their first year of running.
In the boy's race, the Badgers realized what
they've been striving for all season, a district
title and the chance to race against some of the
best teams in the state.
Led by Micah Krmpotich, who won at 16:26, and
Jacob Callister, who came in second at 16:38,
the boys literally ran away with first place, as
Luke Reoch finished finished fifth and Jacob
Perkins came in 10th. The rest of the varsity
seven, Bradley Thompson, Tyson Boorman and Jake
Stimmel, came in at 11th, 12th and 13th,
respectively.
"The whole varsity crew came in under 18:10,"
Bonnell said.
"Jacob Perkins is only a freshman," district
champion Micah Krmpotich said. "He's running
faster than I did then."
Personal bests were set all through the boy's
crew, from Reoch, Perkins and Boorman to Alec
Perkins, Josh Dufrene and Jared Lysne.
"It was exciting to see so many Badger jerseys,
and so many individual efforts," Bonnell said. |
