Two of the Riverside XC athletes competed at the Nemaha Central Cross Country Invitational on Thursday at the Spring Hill Golf Course in Seneca. The weather finally gave us a break and both runners had the opportunity to compete against some strong competition on a beautiful day. Carter Hewins began the afternoon with the 8th grade 2 mile race. He ran well, earning a medal by placing 5th in the meet with a time of 12:39. Hayden Daugherty was next to run and did very well placing 21st in the varsity race, earning a medal with a time of 20:52.

Riverside High School and Middle School XC competed in their second meet of the season Thursday on a hot and humid day at Hiawatha Country Club. The times were slower than normal on the hilly golf course because of the weather, but we're still happy overall with the results. Compared to last year we still saw improvements and are looking forward to our next race at Nemaha Valley hopefully having both other runners back.
