Coach Braden, “Going into the regional meet on Saturday, we only had three boys and three girls competing, so we didn’t have a team on either squad. Knowing that we wouldn’t have a team going to state, we needed to focus on trying to qualify a couple of individuals.  Our two best chances were freshman Kelly Flickinger and sophomore Dalton Murray.  Kelly ran well for us all year and did so again on Saturday, however her time of 24:13 was 33 seconds shy of a qualifying time that would have advanced her on to Wamego next Saturday. Dalton Murray also ran well for us Saturday and his time of 18:54 did qualify him for next Saturday’s State Meet in Wamego.  This will be Dalton’s second trip in as many years to Wamego.”

 

The 1A State Cross Country Meet will be held at the Wamego Country Club this coming Saturday October 28^th. Dalton will run at 12:55 p.m.
