Thursday Riverside XC runners Laci Orcutt and Hayden Daugherty competed in the Sabetha Invitational at the Sabetha Country Club. It was our first real cold day of the season with north winds dropping the temps to under 30 degrees wind chill and light rain. In spite of the conditions, both runners ran very well. It was Laci's first race of the season, just coming off of a knee injury. She ran well though, placing 6th in the JV division with a time of 26:02. Times were pretty slow due to the conditions but Hayden still managed to pull off a personal best in his race placing him in the top 10 JV and 51st in varsity among some of the top teams in the state. His time was 20:33 for the 5k course.
We have a little over 2 weeks to go in the season and are looking forward to continued improvements seeing all of their hard work pay off. We head to the Big 7 League meet at Hiawatha on Thursday at 4:00pm.

Riverside XC runners Carter Hewins (middle school) and Hayden Daugherty (high school) competed at Perry Lecompton Thursday. The location of the course was moved to Perry Lake State Park in Ozawkie due to flooding of the original course. This course was much better and more closely represented what would be considered a true cross country course with narrow trails, winding route, mud, hills and not on a golf course. It was a beautiful day to run as well and both athletes took advantage of the great competition. There were 16 schools at the meet from all over the state and ranging from 5A to 1A schools. Carter ran well, recording almost a minute personal best finishing the 2 mile race in 11:25 and Hayden fought some challenges in a large, tough field finishing just over 23 minutes (23:02) for the course. Overall it was a good day for these guys and we're looking forward to next race at Sabetha and potentially having Laci back to run with us.
