The cross country team has improved from a scrappy bunch of kids having a good time to a young group with the potential for some fast years to come.

Junior Cody Barrick dropped below 19 minutes for the first time in his career and finished at the Whitefish meet at 18:35. 

As coach Rod Tempel slyly noted, “he can now say he is faster than his cousin that placed sixth” in the Washington girls state meet last year.

Krysten Mossberg, a freshman, ran a 20:28 and has her sights set on her mother’s time of 20 minutes.

The weather was finally clear enough and cool enough to turn in good times from nearly all runners, the benefits of running in the fall.

Libby has its Divisional meet in Frenchtown on Saturday.
