Comets place in top 10 at Vermilion Valley Conference
By Fred Kroner
Oakwood/Salt Fork had three of the top seven runners on Tuesday (Oct. 12) in the Vermilion Valley Conference girls’ cross-country meet at Kickapoo State Park.
There was no team champion as none of the schools had enough runners to be scored as a team.
The Comets’ effort was led by Macie Russell (second in 20 minutes, 12.88 seconds), Allie Morris (third in 21:18.78), Alyssa Wells (seventh in 26:04.35) and Addie Wright (12th in 31:01.57).
There were 15 runners in the girls’ meet.
In the 23-runner boys’ competition, Oakwood/Salt Fork’s Ethan Brewer finished 19th in 23:46.26. Bismarck-Henning/Rossville-Alvin won the boys’ team title.
Oakwood/Salt Fork will return to action on Tuesday (Oct. 19) at Tuscola.
