The Bridgeport cross- country team couldn’t have asked for a
better day at Gering Oregon Trail Park to kick off its first
meet.
The team competed on Saturday, September 1 with the girls running
at 9:30 a.m. and the boys running at 10:30 a.m. The girls ran in
the novice division and did very well, individual results are as
follows: Jessica T placed 3rd with a time of 19:01; Simmone S
finished 13th with a time of 21:18; Caitlin D finished 23rd and had
a time of 23:22; and Brandie W crossed the finish line in 27th with
a time of 26:40. Junior T ran in the boys’ novice race also and
competed against many boys and finished 31st but his time was
unavailable.
Simonne S commented about the meet, “It was a whole new experience
considering this is my first year going out for the sport, but I
really liked it. It was a great day for running and I thought
everyone ran a pretty good race.”
The Cross Country team is coached by Mr. Craig Johnson. The team consists of senior Caitlin D, junior Junior T, sophomores Simonne S, Jessica T, and Brandie W and freshman Valerie K.
The team’s next meet is September 7 at Kimball. Good Luck Cross Country!
