Be Fast or Be Last. Cross Country has started their season! The high school team consists of Hudson Nemechek, Lindsay Gray, Brycen Claeys, Kebeb Zimmerman and Tyler Holmes. The Junior High team consists of Langston Gray and Emma Warders. Both teams have been working hard each morning to do better.
Thursday, September 12, the team had a successful meet at Washington County with Lindsay Gray placing 12th, Kebeb Zimmerman placing 5th, Tyler Holmes placing 22nd, Hudson Nemechek placing 32nd, and Brycen Claeys placing 58th. Langston Gray came 1st in the Junior High division with a time of 11:40. The VHHS boys came in 5th place as a team.
When asked what her favorite memory is from cross country, sophomore Lindsay Gray said, "That has to be our first meet that was also Brycen's first race. While he was running he said, 'this is... top speed.'"
Their next meet is September 14 in Wamego where they will compete against some big teams. The team has had a good start to the season so far and hope more people will come out and support.
