CC TEAMS RUN WELL AT WEBSTER CITY
Despite intermittent rain and cold winds, the SWG boys and girls cross country teams traveled to Webster City August 30 for the Lynx Invitational, which is held annual on the Links Golf Course. Both Eagle teams placed tenth overall for the third straight year. “This is a very respectable finish,” said head coach Dean Breitsprecher, “as this meet is not classed. In other words, we were competing directly against large schools like Fort Dodge Senior High and Algona.”
The fifth-ranked (2A) girls from Humboldt took home top honors with 79 points. Eagle Grove (84), Algona (104), and Roland-Story (105) were right behind. St. Edmond’s finished 6th and FDSH was 8th. The Eagle girls had 219 points. Thirteen teams competed in the girls’ event.
“I was really pleased with how hard out teams competed,” said Dean. “The quality of the competition was very high.”
Emma Luhmann, sophomore, once again led the way placing 13th with a time of 17:05. Solveig Orngard (22nd, 17:40), Natalie Willialms (52nd, 19:18), Morgan Strauss (62nd 19:50) Caitlin Pace (76th, 21:57),Nicole Williams (86th, 23:50), and Emma Clausen (88th, 25:39) also competed for SWG.
Senior Miles Propst spearheaded the Eagles effort placing 44th with a time of 19:38. Cody Breitsprecher (52nd, 20)2), Colen Bills (53rd, 20:16), Tyler Hinman (56th, 20:39), Randy Schwering (58th, 20:43) and Zach Hansen (86th, 23:43) also ran for the varsity.
Two freshmen Eagles ran in the junior varsity race. These were freshman Malachi Swanson (51st, 21:59) and Joe Sedlacek (71st, 23:36)
The second-ranked (class 3a) boys from Boone took home top honors with 56 points. Host Webster City captured runner-up accolates with 66 points. St. Edmonds (94), Humboldt (112), FDSH (122), Algona (162) all followed. The SWG boys placed tenth (263) out of the 14-team field.
The next cross country meet will be September 8 at Jefferson. This will also be the first junior high meet.
