Five Warriors place in top-10 at league meet years ago

Sports reporter

Marion High School cross country teams proved they belonged toward the top of the Mid-Central Activities Association by placing three girls and two boys in the top 10 Thursday at the MCAA meet at Hoisington.

The girls placed second as a team and the boys were fourth.

"Overall I was pleased with the team placing," Carlson said. "Each team improved one place from last year."

Camille Christensen once again paced the girls' team with a 4K time of 17 minutes, 47 seconds, and a fourth-place finish.

Amanda Richmond (18:13, seventh), and Jaclyn DeForest (18:23, ninth) were the other two Warriors to receive medals.

Tacy Taylor (18:47, 18th) and Brooke Johnson (18:48, 19th) would have received medals at most regular season races, but the MCAA handed out only 15 medals.

Bridget Lundy's time of 19:40 was good enough for 28th, and Lucy Collett rounded out the varsity finishers with a 44th-place time of 21:29.

Ryan Jones finished in the top 10 for the sixth time in seven meets this season, taking sixth with a 5K-time of 18:25.

Louis Holt earned a medal as well, coming in at 10th with a time of 18:43.

Elliot Hett (19:18, 21st), Brady Hudson (19:45, 32nd), Isaac Hett (20:06, 39th), Brandon Meierhoff (20:31, 48th), and Michael Kirkpatrick (21:10, 55th), were the other varsity runners for the boys' team.

Carlson was glad to see some different teams then the runners were used to, thus preparing them for the El Dorado regional Saturday.
