Girls team places 5th at State
The Prairie girls cross-country team placed 5th at the state meet held Saturday, Oct. 29 at Pocatello.
Ciara Chaffee was Prairie’s top finisher with a 34th place finish in 24:29.26. Next up was Jacey Rambo in 41st in 25:03.72.
Kendra Duclos finished 53rd in 26:08.11 with Calli Perrin right behind in 54th in 26:11.68 and Jessie Sonnen in 55th in 26:19.15. Hope McIntire was 60th in 27:11.56 and Kodie Tidwell was 63rd in 30:24.86.
The top five placers gave Prairie a total of 140 team points which tied them with Castleford. Prairie got 5th place on the tiebreaker which is the placing of a 6th team member. Castleford had only 5 runners so McIntire gave Prairie the 5th place nod.
Prairie’s 7 team members include 3 freshmen-Chaffee, Rambo and Sonnen and 4 sophomores-Duclos, Perrin, McIntire and Tidwell.
In the boys race Grant Gehring, a senior in his last race for Prairie, finished 78th in 21:27.37. He passed a runner from Valley right at the finish and according to coach Glenn Poxleitner “ran the race he wanted in the last race of high school cross country.”
