Riverton High School Cross Country had a great opportunity to be able to compete at the very competitive, 18th annual, grass relays race. Some of the top teams/runners in the state/nation were there to represent. There were some great performances by our teams.
Starting with freshman sophomore boys Tracen and Jonathan lead the way with some very impressive times of 11:26 and 11:48 respectively. Those times would have been them varsity anytime in Riverton history excluding this year and last. Taking a quick glance I think that the freshman/sophomores would of taken 3/30 teams.
In the girls freshman/sophomore race Zoe continued to impress with a great time of 13:45 Which gave her the 2nd fastest girls team time of the day. As a whole the freshman/sophomore girls seemed to run really well and show some great improvements.
The Jr/Sr boys race was exciting with all the boys in that race running very well making that 5-7th spot in varsity in reach for a lot guys. This race was lead the way by Landon who finished 9th overall and ran a great time of 11:03.
The Jr/Sr girls race was great with Brooke and Britney running much better races than last week. Brooke ran a time of 13:47 which was the 3rd fastest girls team time and Brittney running 14:30 which was the 7th fastest girls team time of the day. Great teams are characterized by many thing one of which is depth. Our girls team has a lot of people right now that are running great and could take a varsity spot.
The varsity races where done in relay form. They girls team took 13/30 and the boys team took 4/30. Mckayla took 9 place and earned a spot of the top 25 board all time. Brady took 5th and moved into 11th all time in course history. The relay races are tough because most of the time you are running without being by anyone. This particular year was extremely hot and I was dying of heat just running around. The Boys team was the only team to have 3 guys in the top 15.
Thanks Riverton for giving your best.
