Boys varsity:
In addition to leading the team to its first place finish in the Large School team division, Gable Rial claimed the individual champion title, running 16:49 to finish 1st among the race's 180 runners. Congratulations, Gable! Josh Pittman also cracked the top 10 overall, finishing 2nd for the team in 17:47. McKeon Fogarty (18:13), Canyon Cannell (19:01), and Jens Jorgensen (19:17) completed the scoring top 5 for the team.
Girls varsity:
Kaylee Castellini led the team, running 22:59 for 18th place, immediately by Charlotte Urban in 19th (23:06). Zoe Douglass (24:00), Langley Arnold (24:16), and Caitlyn Caswell (24:40) completed the scoring top 5 for the team. To highlight the importance of each runner finishing in the best position possible (i.e., passing/staying ahead of as many runners as you can from other teams), just 5 points separated the 2nd-4th place teams in this race. Good job finishing on the front end of that 5-point spread, ladies!
