\u201cWe had some good things happen today, but we also took a few steps back in some places,\u201d said Lincolnview Coach Matt Langdon. \u201dIt was a very close race the entire time with New Bremen; they finished stronger than we did and that made the difference.\u00a0They are a very good team and, hopefully, the next time we race them we will be able to make the adjustments necessary.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the varsity girls\u2019 race, Anna Gorman placed 14th overall and teammate Abbie Enyart placed 17th and freshman Alena Looser was 22nd.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a good start for our girls program,\u201d Coach Langdon said.\u00a0\u201cWe only have five returners from last season, so the rest of the team is new to high school cross country.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe now need to learn what it takes to be competitive,\u201d the coach added.\u00a0\u201cFor the most part, many of the girls we were just trying to survive the race today. Hopefully, we can begin to change that moving forward.\u201d<\/p>\n
Calahan Wolfrum won the boys\u2019 junior high race and Karter Tow placed second.\u00a0Placing fourth, fifth and sixth were, respectively, Alek Bowersock, Sam Myers, and Sterling Rigdon.<\/p>\n
