Cross country: Hill sets blistering pace at Libby
LIBBY — Annie Hill of Glacier opened the high school cross country season with a blistering time at the Libby Invitational on Saturday.
The sophomore and defending Class AA state champion was clocked in 16:25.69 at J Neils Park. She finished nearly 30 seconds ahead of runner-up, Bryn Morley of Bigfork.
Conditions were ideal for running with cool temperatures and a slight mist.
Hill’s time would have placed her ninth in the boys competition.
Glacier had four girls in the top 10, which helped the Wolfpack take team honors with a 33 score. Flathead was second with 53.
Flathead finished 1-2 on the boys side with Jake Perrin times in 15:16.51 and Ben Perrin, a freshman, was next at 15:46.90.
Flathead had five runners in the top 20 and posted a team-best score of 27.
Glacier was second at 42.
The Whitefish boys and girls were third.
“For us, that’s good,” Whitefish coach Sarah Brist said.
“I’m pleased with our performance today behind Glacier and Flathead. The kids did well with summer running and I’m looking forward to see how we do (Thursday) at Ronan.”
