Moriah Knapp - State qualifier

The District cross country meet took place on Wednesday, October 20th. The meet was held at the Prairie Rose Golf Course, which is in Burnsville.

           The boys placed ninth overall with their top runners being Ryan Stundahl, who got sixth, Jace Mortensen, who got thirty-second, and Dylan Alt, who got forty-seventh. The sixth place runner said, “The boys did good and just missed Humboldt by a few.” On the girls’ side, Moriah Knapp placed fourth, Eliza Schultz placed forty-eighth, and Malyn Davis placed fifty-second. Knapp gave insight on the day, saying, “It was very cold, windy, and rainy, but everyone persevered and ran well.”

           District meets are used to determine who gets to go to State. To qualify, you either need to be in the top fifteen for individuals or the top three for teams. Stundahl, who had a time of 17:12.05, and Knapp, who had a time of 19:45.04, both got their personal record and qualified for State. 

The State meet takes place on Friday, October 29th, in Fort Dodge, at the Lakeside Municipal Golf Course. Tickets for the meet are available online, on Varsity Bound, and cost ten dollars. Moriah will run at 2:30 and Ryan will run at 3:15.

Good luck Moriah & Ryan!
