Pierce – The C3 District Cross Country Meet was held Wednesday at the Pierce Community Golf Course. To qualify for the State Cross Country meet runners must finish in the top 15 individually or in the top 3 as a team, and O’Neill will represent in both the boys and girls State Meet!
The O’Neill boys finished in 3rd as a team, not only finishing on the podium but also stamping their ticket to the state meet October 24th from the Kearney Country Club in Kearney, Nebraska! Max Berg led the O’Neill boys, finishing in 4th place (17:34.27). Paul Fonseca snuck into the top ten with an 8th place finish (18:01.15). Alonso Hernandez finished in 17th (18:41.59), Tomas Arciniega in 22nd (19:04.72), Brandon Romero right behind him in 23rd (19:21.64), & Evan Cole in 26th (19:29.57). Congratulations to the O’Neill Boys Cross Country team!
The Lady Eagles finish in 6th place as a team, but will be represented in Kearney as Kiarra Kennedy finished in 8th place (21:40.45)! Mollie Corkle finished in 25th (23:36.79), Taya Dickau in 27th (23:50.65), Lynn Miner in 32nd (24:28.27), & Emma Bowder in 37th (24:57.40).
