OTTAWA — The Lancer Cross Country teams competed in the Division IV District Championship meet in Ottawa on Saturday.\u00a0 The District meet is the first qualifying meet leading up to the state meet in two weeks.<\/p>\n
Both teams took home the district runner-up trophy, placing second behind Minster in both races to earn a trip to the regional meet in Tiffin next Saturday.<\/p>\n
The Lancers also placed three boys and three girls in the top 16, which would have made them individual regional qualifiers if the team had not placed in the top four.<\/p>\n
The boys and girls season record remains identical at 178-15.\u00a0The boys ended the regular season ranked No. 12 in the OATCCC state poll and the girls ended the regular season ranked No. 17.<\/p>\n
The boys narrowly lost to Minster 83-90.\u00a0 Leading the boys was Austin Elick, who placed ninth overall.\u00a0He was followed by freshmen Alek Bowersock, who placed 12th, and Trevor Neate, who placed 13th.\u00a0These three boys were all individual regional qualifiers.<\/p>\n
Rounding out the scoring were Karter Tow, placing 24th; Andrew Fickert, placing 34th; Jacob Keysor, placing 53rd; and Brayden Farmer, placing 62nd.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was not our best race of the season, but we did what we had to do to advance,\u201d said Lincolnview Coach Matt Langdon.\u00a0\u201cAndrew stepped up for us today in the fifth spot and allowed us to take home the runner-up trophy.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe hope to be at full strength next weekend at the regional meet and take our shot at qualifying for a third consecutive state championship meet,\u201d Coach Langdon added.\u00a0\u201cAt the end of the day, it is just a great feeling to advance.\u201d<\/p>\n
The girls placed second behind No. 1-ranked Minster.\u00a0The Lady Lancers were led by Anna Gorman, who placed 10th overall in the race, making her an individual regional qualifier.\u00a0Other individual qualifiers included Rylee Byrne, in 12th place, and Abbie Enyart in 14th.<\/p>\n
Rounding out the scoring for the Lancers were Alena Looser, in 18th place; Brayden Langdon, 21st; Madeline Snyder, 22nd; and Trinity Welch, in 29th place.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe girls ran a great team race today,\u201d Coach Langdon noted. \u201cWe had some sickness and injury that we were dealing with, so it was great to see the girls pick each other up.<\/p>\n
\u201cBesides our three individual regional qualifiers, I thought Alena really stepped up for us,\u201d he added. \u201cShe ran the race of her career today on a day when we needed just that.<\/p>\n
Coach Langdon said the Lincolnview girls now get an opportunity to run in the regional meet next weekend.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll you can really ask for at this point in the season is an opportunity at qualifying for the state meet,\u201d the coach said. \u201cThe girls have that and we are excited to see how it turns out.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
