Hornets Cross Country teams have similar yet strong starts to the season.
Both the men and women's cross country teams finished the same as a team as they did last year at last weekend's University of New England Invitational in Biddeford, Maine.
Leading the way for the men was Junior Josh Grant, who placed first in the race with an eight-kilometer time of 28:16.
Other top finishers for the Men's team included Sophomore Kenedi Hall, finishing ninth overall with a time of 29:46.
Following Hall was Senior Wildens Fils at 29:56. Freshman Tyler Scheibenplug turned a lot of heads by finishing with a time of 30:51. Scheibenplug's performance has even got the attention of Coach Chris Ummer.
"Tyler performed very well for us on Saturday," said Coach Ummer. "He ran well and we all hope he can keep it up."
On the women's team, Senior Allynne O'Hearn led the field for the Hornets finishing sixth overall with a time of 23:33. Junior Cassie Tricou was second for the Lady Hornets finishing the five-kilometer race in 24:08 and Junior Ani Pytlewski finished beside her with a time of 24:09.
Overall, the men's team finished third at the meet, with the women finishing 6th.
"As a team and an individual, we try to use the first meet of the year as a guideline as to how we improve all year," said Coach Ummer. "You don't want to run hard every race of the year, so sometimes runners will be relaxed and pick it up as the season goes on. With that said, I think both the women and the men very well this weekend."
The Men's and Wom en's Cross Country teams will be racing in a meet this weekend here at Lyndon. The women will race at 10:30 A.M. and the men will race at 11:15 A.M.
