Cross Country times keep improving

The Libby cross-country team traveled to Thompson Falls on Oct. 3 for a meet. Fourteen of the 24 runners recorded personal records.

“The number of personal records is surprising considering the grassy conditions of the course,” Head Coach Rod Tempel said. “It takes more energy to run on a soft surface.”

Cody Barrick led the way for the boys and improved his time by 31 seconds.

The team runs next at 11 a.m. Saturday in Whitefish.

Following the run in Whitefish on Saturday, the team will return the following Saturday for the Divisional competition.

Below are the individual results:

Boys: Cody Barrick-18:44, Jay Steel-19:57, Miguel Hernandez-20:19, Billy Topaz-20:21, Niklaus Gier-20:37, Allan Rice-22:12, Caleb Hooper-22:13, Caleb Broderick-24:01, Raiven Mathiason-24:16, Tanner DeHaven-26:43, Tyler Doubek 26:47.

Girls: Alee Julson-23:00, Shyla Stevenson-24:20, Courtney Bowe-26:21, Taylor Quinn-26:49, Lexie Higareda-27:12, Grace Doolin-27:12, Laura Bales-27:56, Kiara McLinden-30:36, Kristen Lindgren-31:38, Jasmin Snyder-31:39.
