The Indian girls team entered two girls in the varsity field of 66 runners with Allison Martin finishing 32nd at 23:32 and Logan Triesch crossed the finish line 40th at 25:15. Simspon was happy overall with their effort and also with the effort of some of his younger girls in the junior varsity race, gaining good experience in their first meet.
Regarding the boys’team, although happy with their performance, he emphasized, “But we have a lot of work to do, especially in order to be among the top four teams in the region who will eventually qualify to move on to the state meet.”
The Indians will be pointing toward the regional meet later in October, again at Confluence Park in Delta, which will include 1A through 4A teams. Along with the top four teams, the top 15 individual finishers will qualify for the state meet.
