Bowie and Nocona cross country runners ran the first official race of the season on Wednesday at Nocona’s Indian Oaks Golf Course.
The Bowie boy’s team finished third overall while its girl’s team, the first in three seasons, finished fourth overall. The Nocona boy’s team finished seventh overall while the girl’s team had only one runner compete.
It proved to be a very fast course as many runners ran some of their best times by quite a bit. Whether that proves to be an anomaly or not will show in future meets.
From the Jackrabbit boy team, Isaac Renteria finished first for the team. He ended up getting second place overall with a time of 15:37.
The top five runners that scored for Bowie also included Sebastian Martinez (10th), Monte Mayfield (25th), Russell Anderson (28th) and Hayden Sutton (33rd).
The Lady Rabbits’ team was led by freshman Laney Segura, who finished seventh overall with a time of 13:29.
The team’s top five runners also included Ollie Gaston (13th), Brylie Hager (27th), Bella Lozano (31st) and Brilee Lemons (51st).
For the Nocona girls, Bayler Smith ran alone and finished fourth overall with a time of 13:14.
The Indian boy’s team was led by Freddy Duran who finished 14th overall with a time of 17:27. The top five for the team also included Andrew Perez (15th), Omar Salinas (41st), Emilio Rocha (46th) and Corbyn Patton (49th).
