Orioles Head Cross Country Coach Nick Mahr shared the following after results were in.
“It’s a tough course with a big hill at the two mile mark and it was also a hot day,” he said of Neillsville.
“Some of the girls actually ran really good times despite that. It will be the site of the conference meet so we will see this course again. I think we’ll be a lot faster when we run it again after a few more weeks of training.”

“They only hosted the high school races because of forecasted storms,” Mahr said of the Dan Conway Invite at Chetek-Weyerhauser. “Our runners times weren’t what we were hoping but it was the roughest and hilliest course we’ve seen all season and still plenty hot so that slowed them down. We still placed well in that field of runners though and are excited to run some fast times now as the weather cools and we have fast courses on three of the next four races.”
As for results at Cadott Sept. 24, the Stanley-Boyd high school girls finished 7th overall as a team, with Shakal finishing 32nd with a time of 23:55.4, Wehling finishing 35th with a time of 24:13.4.

John Smit finished first for the middle school boys at Cadott with a time of 11:04.7.
Of Cadott Sept. 24 Coach Mahr said the following.
“It was a good race. There were a lot of teams there and several of the better Division 3 schools. A few of our runners weren’t at 100% for the race so to run the times they did, they should feel good about it,” Mahr said.
The Orioles next compete Saturday, Oct. 5 against multiple schools at Tower Ridge. Start time is 10:00 a.m.
