Madison County cross-country heads to West

The Ennis Mustangs ran the cross-country ski trail in West Yellowstone Saturday, Oct. 3. “It was a gorgeous day with cool temperatures and pace was quick for a high school 5K and a middle school approximately 2.5K,” Coach Melinda Legg said.

Ennis runners’ times for the Wolverine Classic at West Yellowstone are as follows: Eli Beardsley, 19:34 (6th place); Tait Olsen, 19:41 (7th place); Wylie Connor, 20:18 (9th place); Kyle LaClair 22:18; Genesis Boyles 23:34 (4th place, women).

“Athletes increased distance and speed work this week and it really paid off today,” Coach Legg said. “Coaches were very proud of their efforts.”

Twin Bridges Cross-Country with Coach Hannah Konen also ran in the Wolverine Classic last weekend. Times for runners are as follows: Morgan Hendrickson, 18:17 (1st place); Zane Carter, 18:51 (3rd place); Kyie Salerno, 24:41; Pablo Babcock, 25:17 and Allie Dale (22:24, 2nd place women).
