Cross Country athletes are like the Post Office: They run through rain, sleet, dark of night – and, at last weekend’s Montana State meet in Great Falls, some pretty nasty cold, wind, and snow.
“It was not a great day for running,” said Jefferson High coach Karson Klass. “I’m proud of the kids for fighting the elements.”
Those elements included a race-time temperature of 25 degrees, and pre-winter breeze that made it feel much colder. But the Panther “Hoofers” ran through it: Hyram Parke finished 62nd in 19:49, while Logan Gillmore was 82nd in 20:19, Christian Davis 123rd in 21:34, and Brendan Gallagher 176th in 24:13.
