“Our home course is probably the toughest course these kids will run on. We ran well considering it was the hottest it has been all year too. Callie Frakes was coming off an injury and ran as expected. She missed some key workouts due to her injury. This was the first time this year that we scored as a varsity team and took 4th place. Jessica Musgrave ran a strong race as well. On the boys side, Chase Branan and Tyrin Lasley continue to run well. This was our first meet for our middle schoolers and they all ran great. Jo Tyynismaa took 9th and Neena Lasley took 20th. The middle school boys came in 4th as a team, lead by Trusten Rosenburger at 3rd place, Kordell Negrete at 9th, and Clayton Graff placed 17th,” said coach Robert Tyynismaa.
