10/25/2020 Boys Cross CountryPhotos by Darren TromblayBy Linden SeegerThe boys cross country team has had exciting seasons this year. They started their season with a meet at Southeast Valley, but they had been training long before. Much of the varsity and JV teams have been getting miles in since June. This hard work appears to have paid off. At Southeast Valley the boys placed 3rd of 12 teams and 2nd of 11 teams at Roland-Story. Later they took the victory at the Ogden and South Central Calhoun meets.
On Friday October 23, the boys ran at The state qualifying meet at Audubon. Parker Trusler described the course perfectly saying “I don’t think there was a flat part of this course.” To add to the difficulty, it was cold and windy. The entire team agreed with the sentiments of Stephen Flynn “That was the hardest course I have ever run.” Though the course was difficult, the Ogden boys placed 2nd of 8 complete teams qualifying them for the state meet on October 31st. The boys also had two individuals qualify for state. Senior Stephen Flynn placed 4th with a time of 18:03 and Sophomore Jordan King paced 6th with a time of 18:41. Comments are closed.
