The Ladynecks and Roughnecks returned to action this Saturday at the Quitman Bulldog Invitational. This course is traditionally a flat grassy course that provides opportunities to run fast. After two weeks of great training by the both teams, all of the runners carried their training into personal best race performances. The girls kicked off the morning with an eleventh place finish by Ally Tatum, 13:12, and a fifteenth place finish by Sophia Lacy, 13:34. In the boys race Logan Langewisch led the boys to a third place finish with 88 points. Langewisch ran 17:15 for 11th place followed closely by Cooper Tucker in 12th place with a time of 17:22. Isaak Olvera was 23rd, 18:00, Luke Bueno, 24th, 18:02, and Kaleb Glenn, 32nd, 18:35 rounded out the team scoring for the Roughnecks. Nathan Stringer finished in 33rd place in a time of 18:41. The boys raced very well as a team by packing close together to eliminate gaps. Phoenix Turner placed 2nd out of 24 runners in the JV boys race, finishing in 19:35. Emry Morris continued to improve his racing performance, placing seventh in a time of 20:33. He also collected his first individual medal of the season.
