Last week, the Garretson Cross Country team headed to Beresford for their first race of the year. One athlete, Carter Siemonsma, competed in the 5,000-meter varsity race, and the others competed in the 4000-meter junior varsity race.
"It was a good start to the year as it was the first race, and for some, their first race ever," said Coach Jason Bohl.
Siemonsma placed 23rd with a time of 17:48.
In JV girls, Eliza Potter placed 54th with a time of 22:40. JV boys saw Sebastian Deyoung 24th in 16:07, Noah Schotzko 44th in 16:55, Cooper Smith 69th in 18:03, Michael Hanisch 93rd in 19:04, Bence Bonte 94th in 19:05, Lucas Ludewig 105th in 19:45, Isaiah Coburn 115th in 20:46.
They headed to Salem for the McCook Invitational on Tuesday (results not available at press time), and on Saturday will compete at the Bruce Gluff Invite in Luverne. Next Tuesday, they'll host the Jesse James Invitational at River Ridge Golf Course, with races beginning at 4:00 p.m.
