Cross country girls bring home first place

The Bobcat cross county girls team brought home first place from the 5 Rivers Conference meet. Jules Ward took first place with a time of 19 minutes flat. She took 52 seconds off her time from when she ran the course in September.

"Our kids had some huge improvements and that's what we want to see," coach Brenna Able declared.

Many of the Bobcats shaved time off from the last time they ran the course. Chandra Maddock finished 28 seconds faster, Stacy Lewis came in at 1:01 minute faster, Liz Rhodes was 1:00 minute faster, Randi Elisson was 6:21 seconds faster and Adam Hanson came in 2:15 seconds faster.

"It's exciting to come away with a conference title today for the girls," coach Abel explained, "The kids have really brought their times down this season." Jules Ward, Chandra Maddock and Stacy Lewis all received All-Conference honors.

On Saturday the team will be headed to Sheridan for state. The 2A boys race is scheduled to start at 10:30 a.m. with the girls start set for noon.
