Bulldogs Cross Country: Headwater XC Invitational
MT43 News Sports Reporter
Last Friday, the cross country team traveled to one of their favorite stops of every season, the Headwater XC Invitational hosted by the Three Forks Wolves. A beautiful flat course on a gorgeous, crisp morning made for lightning-fast times by your Broadwater Bulldogs.
Fifteen of the 17 team members had their personal best times (PR) or season best times (SR)!
The Junior Varsity Men and Women took to the course together with Kaden Bruins (19:22 PR) in 2nd, Alex Johnson (25:25 SR) in 17th, and Ross MacDonald (27:08) in 19th for the men. Logan Barkhurst (27:40 PR) placed 7th for the ladies with teammate Fiona Nelson (33:36 SR) behind her in 12th.
The Varsity Men’s team took 4th place collectively with 100 points. Senior Nolan Flynn (16:51 PR) lead the way in 5th place; his new personal best is one second away from the Broadwater School record at 5K. Gavin Green (18:13 PR) was 19th, while Rylan Hoveland (20:14) was next for the men in 30th. The Bulldogs were coming in one after the other with Luke Tullos (20:45 PR) in 37th, Patrick Gossard (20:46 PR) in 38th, Keaton Cavasos (22:23 PR) in 43rd, and Sam Flesch (22:28 PR) in 44th. The Men’s Varsity shortened their season times collectively by almost 3 minutes.
The Lady Bulldogs placed 2nd as a team with 63 points. Kyla Meissner (19:19 PR) crossed the finish line in first place of the Women’s Varsity race, defending her Headwater Invitational win from last year. The Lady Bulldog’s power trio up front is completed by Elaine MacDonald (20:44 PR) in 7th place and Kaelyn Sangray (21:03 PR) in 9th. Rounding out the team are Arabella McDaniel (24:37 PR) and Shalyn Sentinella (26:22 PR) who were 33rd and 35th, respectively. These two sophomores continue to shorten their times week after week.
By the time you read this, the high school runners will have competed on Thursday, October 10th at the Capital City 7 of 7 Meet, a day-long event with a unique format where there are nine separate races; more details in next week’s edition.
