Cross Country Runners Begin Season at Pretty Prairie
Three members of the Cunningham High School cross country team traveled to Pretty Prairie on September 6, 2016 to compete in their first annual invitational meet.
Brayden Schnittker competed in the boys JV race (2 miles) and finished with a respectable 13th place finish out of 29 runners in a time of 14:15. Lena Westerman changed from the JV race to the varsity race which is 5K (3.1miles) in length. She placed 5th and received a medal for her efforts and ran a time of 29:35. Darius McAdam placed 14th out of 23 runners in a time of 22:44.
The weather was not very conducive to this sport with temperatures in the 90’s and the wind blowing in excess of 25mph.
I was pleased with the effort of all the runners and look forward to seeing the improvement made throughout the season.
We will be competing at Skyline Schools on Saturday, September 10th. Races begin at 10:00am.
