The Onsted MS Cross Country team brought grit, heart, and speed to the Sand Creek Invite, earning an impressive 5th place finish for both the girls and boys squads out of 16 competitive teams.

Stylar Ross led the charge receiving a medal with a stellar 9th place finish. Those who not only received medals, but also broke personal records and scored were Samarah Huffman, Mattison Ruttkofsky, Lily Louden, Madelyn Mullins and Hadley Schaefer-who was outside of scoring, but received a medal for her efforts. Adelynn McConeghy and Eliza Whitaker also broke their personal best times, showing their resilience all the way towards the finish.

Out of 112 runners, our Boys brought the heat on what was a great day for running. Zander Springer crossed the line in 11th place, receiving a medal and breaking his personal best time by 9 seconds. Noah Jackson and Kolton Turbeville- who broke his personal best time- also were medalists, with strong support from Hayden Jackson and Zayne Johnstone- also breaking his personal record- to complete the scoring for the Boys. Also breaking personal records were Tyler Hosler, Rosson Sutherland, Carter Holtzbauer, Lincoln Chamberlain, and Roman Lukasik.
