This season, the Garretson Cross Country team was small but mighty, running seven athletes in mostly Junior Varsity competitions. However, for the Big East Conference held October 6, senior Preston Bohl was finally recovered enough from injuries to compete, and he came out of the gate as though he'd been competing hard all season and placed third.
The team then headed to Salem to participate in the Region 2A meet on Thursday, October 13. Along with Bohl, who competed in Varsity, season veterans Noah Schotzko, Sebastian Deyoung, Nate Roberts, Talon Miller, Emma Hanson, and Eliza Potter competed in JV.
Hanson got 23rd place, Deyoung received 25th and Schotzko got 27th places, respectively, while Roberts and Potter received 33rd and 36th place. Miller, who had a personal record at 17:27.7, came in 56th overall in the competitive field.
Bohl was the only Garretson harrier to medal and receive a place in the State Meet, which will be held this Saturday at 1:30 p.m. in Huron. He came in 8th overall with a time of 17:40.20 in the 5,000-meter race.
UPDATE 10/20/22: Eliza Potter came in 36th place. This has been updated.
