High school cross country runners from across this wide swath of land known as Montana will gather in Great Falls Saturday for the 2019 All-Class Cross Country meet.
The Thompson Falls Lady Hawks, after winning the unofficial Western B divisional team title at River's Bend Golf Course outside of Thompson Falls Oct. 16, will be riding high going into Great Falls. The all-class spectacular will be held at Eagle Falls Golf Course in the Electric City.
Junior Josey Neesvig followed by Sierra Hanks and Ellie Baxter, led the Lady Hawks to the championship by finishing second, third and fourth behind individual winner Karolyna Buck of Mission.
Neesvig clocked out in 21:47.63, Hanks in 22:16.29 and Baxter in 22:20.26. Buck's winning time was 21:37.33.
The Lady Hawks and the Bigfork Vals actually ended up tied in team scoring with 52 points each but the Falls girls won based on the placement of their Nos. 4-7 runners.
Megan Baxter was the No. 4 Lady Hawk, finishing in 24:46.12, Shaylynda Walker No. 5 (26:13.23), Roni Hanks No. 6 (26:50.69) and Reagan Hanks No. 7 (27:56.24).
On the boys side, Justin Morgan tracked down ninth place individually to lead the Hawks, finishing in 18:12.80, and the Hawks took seventh in team scoring.
Morgan was backed up by Jack Green (19th in 19:26.38), Marc Boyd (34th in 21:25.30), Daniel Ryan (38th in 22:13.00), Briar Palmer (44th in 22:43.27) and JJ Fields (49th in 23:49.18).
Eureka dominated the boys race winning four of the top five individual places and scoring an absurdly low 22 points to easily claim the divisional championship.
