Individually, The boy’s individually had an overall good day at the invitational, and even had a top ten  finisher. Senior runner Keaton Schelir finished in eighth place in the 5000 meter run  with his right hand men Dylan Ko and Jackson Powell finishing 20th and 29th respectively. There was plenty of competition throughout the boy’s first division from Monarch and Arapahoe.

Some other notable finishers were Ellie Ewer (52nd), Kate Lammons (54th), and Kate Leatherman (58th). “We didn’t get anywhere where we needed and wanted to. None of us had good races this week, and we expect great finishes in the next couple weeks.” Said senior runner, Kate Leatherman.
