Coach K-Love's Cross Country Corner

NOMINATE FOR ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

By Kassidy Love
Head Cross Country Coach

GOSHEN — The threatening weather held off and the 2012 Goshen Invitational was able to be run, albeit on a different course than scheduled. Due to flooding at Goshen's usual Shanklin Park course, the race was run at the Reith Interpretive Center across the street. Lena Yeakey started the team off with a solid run, dropping over a minute from last year's first race of the season. Jesse Bontrager decided to follow in her footsteps (somewhat literally, since he ran the same course) and dropped 54 seconds off his first race time last year. Austin Hooley was not to be outdone, dropping a whopping 95 seconds from 52 weeks ago. The cross country team is next in action on Saturday morning when all 6 runners will compete in a hokum karem (partner relay) at First Baptist Church in Elkhart.

No team scores kept.
Bethany runners — Lena Yeakey 31:43; Jesse Bontreger 18:47, Austin Hooley 24:14.
