Cardinals Travel To Big Sky Country

Last week the Soda Springs cross country teams hit the road traveling all the way to the University of Montana for the Mountain West Classic.  It was a massive meet with dozens of teams and hundreds of runners.  In just the boys varsity race alone there were five hundred ninety runners from seventy-nine teams.  Some of the biggest schools from the northwest portion of the country competed.  With such stiff competition the Cardinals competed very well.  The varsity boys team finished in the top half of teams coming in thirty third overall.  Landon Moldenhauer still holds the best time for the Cardinals and finished at an even one hundredth in the individual standings.  Moldenhauer along with teammates Kage Kirby, Jaxson Horsley, and Dre Lloyd all hit season best times while Reuben Uskoski hit a new personal best time. 

The varsity Lady Cardinals also had some great performances in the meet.  As a team the Lady Cardinals finished twenty-second out of sixty-seven teams.  All seven of the girls from Soda Springs hit either season best or personal bests in this race.  Once again Ellie Wood was the top finisher for the Lady Cardinals coming in at sixty-third out of four hundred eighty-six runners.  

The Cardinals represented their school and state well in this large meet and can hold their heads high.  The Cardinals continue to build on their terrific season this week when they travel to Rexburg to race in the Rexburg Classico on Thursday.
