MS Cross Country: Yeakey Third, Bruins Fourth

NAPPANEE, Ind. — The Bethany Christian Middle School boys and girls competed in a four-way cross country meet with NorthWood, Goshen, and Schmucker at NorthWood Middle School this afternoon.



[Editor's note: This is the first time in BBB history that Bethany and Schmucker have competed head-to-head.]

Scores for the girls were incomplete — Bethany fields fewer than the requisite five runners for the girls — but Hannah Yeakey placed third overall in the girls race with a time of 13:19.  A total of 86 middle school girls competed in the race.



[Editor's other note: Yeakey's time is the fastest by a Bruin since 2009, according to our archives.]

The boys were bested by NorthWood, 15 to 50; by Goshen, 15 to 48, and by Schmucker, 16 to 47.  Leading the way was Jonah Hochstetler, 17th out of 81 boys competing.

The team travels next Tuesday to Central Noble for a meet with Westview and Central Noble.
