A quartet of Bobcats ran the route around the Lake View Golf Course, near picturesque Lewis and Clark Lake, Thursday.
Warm temperatures and a hilly course greeted team members, who ran against a large contingent in their respective races.
Coach Shannon Schumacher said, “It is one of the meets that you have a great opportunity to run your best because of all of the quality athletes around you.”
In the girls’ division, freshman Aubrey Parker was the lone participant, as illness and injuries prevented other Bobcat racers from competition.
Parker finished 32nd in the field of approximately 50 athletes. She finished the course in 26:53.30.
Crofton’s Jordyn Arens topped the individual race, crossing the finish line in 20:03.24.
Wayne won the team title, scoring 27 points.
Approximately 75 runners competed in the boys’ division. Jesse Thiele led the Bobcat boy’s team, finishing 42nd. He ran 21:45.08.
Alex Thiele ended in 50th, after charting a time of 22:02.49.
Parker Napier ran 23:41.30 and placed 63rd.
Carson Noecker, of Hartington, ran 15:33.38 to earn the boys’ individual title.
Norfolk Catholic scored 28 points en route to the team title.
What piqued your interest in running cross country?
I became interested in cross country after my sister, Adrienne, had done it her freshman year. I wanted to try it, as well, to see if I would enjoy it.
What pre-meet habits/rituals/superstitions do you have?
I don't really have any pre-meet superstitions, but I have the normal habits of stretching and drinking lots of water during the day.
While running a race, how do you stay motivated?
I just think about how I only have one chance to run this meet, and it's really not that much time, so why not just try your best?
What’s your favorite moment from this season?
We were running this hill in practice, and it was a really hard hill, with the worst conditions ever. There was incredible deep sand and it was really hard to get to the top, but once you got up there it was the most beautiful view I've ever seen. It really makes running worth it.
