Garretson Cross Country started its season on August 26 with the Beresford Invite.
Coach Jason Bohl pointed out that there are seven participants in cross country this year, with one senior, two sophomores, two freshmen, and two seventh graders. "We are low on numbers and experience this year but the kids have been working hard and look to make huge improvements as the year goes on," he said.
Runners this year are: Preston Bohl (12), Noah Schotzko (10), Eliza Potter (10), Sebastian Deyoung (9), Nathanial Roberts (9), Talon Miller (7), Emma Hanson (7).
In Beresford, five harriers competed, with Miller and Hanson experiencing their first meet. In Junior Varsity, Eliza Potter and Noah Schotzko both placed 47th and 48th, respectively.
On Tuesday, August 30, the team headed to Salem for the McCook Central/Montrose Invite. While there weren't any Garretson competitors in Varsity, four Junior Varsity harriers medaled.
"In Junior Varsity girls both Emma Hanson and Eliza Potter were able to bring home medals with their respective 13th and 27th place finishes," said Coach Boh. "In JV boys, Sebastian Deyoung and Noah Schotzko were also medal winners with their 13th and 14th places. Talon Miller also ran well as he finished in 40th out of the 82 runners. "
Garretson hosted the Jesse James Invitational on Tuesday (results not available at press time), and will be headed to Luverne this Saturday at 9:30 a.m.
