Craig Sports Briefs for Aug. 22, 2014: Moffat County High School runners place 10th in opening meet

The Moffat County High School boys cross-country team placed 10th out of 12, 3A teams during the Cheyenne Mountain Stampede on Thursday in Colorado Springs. Ashley Suits was the top finisher for MCHS, clocking in at 20 minutes, 45 seconds.

Coach Todd Trapp said the meet was a tough but rewarding one to start off the season because of the level of competition with schools attending from 2A through 5A divisions. Additionally, it offers a look at the course that will be used for the state event in October.

A limited number of runners were able to attend from Moffat County, with only two members of the girls team, not qualifying for the varsity race without a minimum of five participants.



Trapp said the results were very positive and that this is just the beginning of things to come.

“We got some experience, built some strength, and we’re going to have a good season,” he said.



The team’s next meet is Aug. 29 in Delta.
