Grant Union Cross
Country boys fi nish
second at Idlewild
The Grant Union cross
country boys team had
their best fi nish of the sea-
son, undeterred by cold
temperatures and snow.
Placing in the top 10
out of 25 were junior Bo
Olson, fi nishing the 5,000
meter race with a mark
of 22:12, and sophomore
Gage Brandon with 22:17.
“We ran well as a team
and grouped our runners
together tight,” said Grant
Union head coach Sonna
Smith.
She said the team ran
without top runner Tanner
Elliott, who is recovering
from a procedure on his
toe.
Smith said Elliott
should recover in time for
Friday’s district champion-
ships.
On the girls side, senior
Savannah Wyllie had her
best fi nish of the season,
placing second with a time
of 24:02.
“She is peaking at the
right time to be primed for
district,” Smith said.

Grant Union’s varsity cross country boys team placed
second at Saturday’s Burns-Idlewild Meet.
The
3A/2A/1A-SD5
Special District 5 XC
Championship is set for
Friday, Oct. 27, at Pendle-
ton Community Park.
The girls varsity race
begins at 3:45 p.m., and the
boys start at 4:30 p.m.
“The next two weeks we
will be focusing on tapering
so we peak right on time for
district competition,” Smith
said.
Smith added the middle
school team will compete
at their district meet on Fri-
day. She said Brady Dole
and Austin Cates both raced
well in Burns.
Dole had a personal re-
cord, running the 3,000 me-
ter in 14:05 for ninth place,
and Cates ran it in 14:06 for
10th.
For the girls, Amelia
Hall had a personal record
of 15:43, fi nishing seventh.
Prairie City has snowy
loss to Crane gridders
The Prairie City Panther
gridders, a young varsity
team, took a 64-0 fall in Fri-
day’s contest with the Crane
Mustangs.
It was an uphill battle
for the Panthers, competing
against a team with six se-
niors.
Snowfall made for a cold
and slippery game.
“Crane is the best team
that we played all year, but
it was the best game that we
have played all year,” said
Prairie City head coach Nate
Barber. “The positive thing
about playing good teams
is that the kids can see how
they need to be executing.”
The Panthers are on the
road Friday to face Adri-
an/Jordan Valley at 4 p.m.
(MDT).
Monument/Dayville
Lady Tigers lose battle
to Jordan Valley
The Monument/Day-
ville Tigers had to adjust
their lineup after losing a
starter last week.
Jordan Valley pulled out
the win Friday when the Ti-
gers traveled, 25-18, 9-25,
25-23 and 25-20.
“The girls played well,”
said head coach Kristi Em-
erson.
She said the team be-
came a little confused on
coverage when double
blocking.
“That really got us for a
couple of volleys,” she said.
“It caught us off guard.”
