Garretson Cross Country Runners attended the Big East Conference Cross Country Meet held in Volga Oct. 8. Both the girls and boys teams finished fourth overall.
GHS XC top runners were Kylie Christensen (11), Tayler Benson (14), and MaKayla Heesch (15) for the ladies. For the boys, Preston Bohl (2), Evan DeBates (12), and Devon Leedy (14). Each of these athletes placed All Conference status for finishing in the top 15 at the meet.
Our next action will be today, Thursday Oct. 15, when we travel to Sioux Falls to compete in the Region meet held at Yankton Trail Park. The meet will begin at 3:00 with the varsity girl's race and followed by the varsity boy's race at 3:30. Girl's and boy's JV races will follow at 4:00 and 4:30 respectively.
“We are hoping to get everyone back to full strength by then because we will have to be at our best to qualify our kids for the state meet,” said coach Jason Bohl.
