Comments From Head Coach Scott Barth:

"The girls had a good performance at the meet last night. We had all of our scorers place in the top 10 and our top 8 runners earned medals on the night. We were led by senior Ava Vance who was the meet champion with a time of 19:50. She was followed by junior Annika Larson with a solid time of 20:23 which earned her the silver. Juniors Brynna Wilson and Ava Richardson placed 4th and 6th in times of 20:44 and 20:54 respectively. This gave us our top 4 under the 21 minute mark which is great. Two up- and-coming freshmen, Raya Miller and Kya Hermann, brought home solid PR's on the night placing 10th and 12th. Their times were 21:36 and 21:48. McKenzie Dee brought home the varsity line-up placing 16th in a time of 22:03. The JV team also performed very well and ran numerous PR's on this hilly course.

I am pleased with the progress of the girls team. They check all the boxes when it comes to practices, meet preparation and mental toughness. They see the tone that has been set by our previous teams and want to continue on that same path. We continue to improve and will carry this momentum into an extremely tough meet on Monday at home. The top 5 teams in our class will be there along with ranked teams in class 4A. It should be an exciting meet."

The Bombers are back in action on Monday - September 11 when they compete in the Mike Carr Invitational Meet in Huxley.  The meet will feature the middle school, junior varsity, and varsity and will start at 4:30 PM.
