New course challenges Lovell runners
BY MERYK MCARTHUR
A first for the Lovell
cross country team was
attending the Wayne
Chancy Memorial Invita-
tional last Friday in Gil-
lette.
Racing first were
the middle school girls.
Jazmyn See ran a time
of 15:25, followed close-
ly by Karlee Burton, who
ran 15:33. Next came Me-
gun Corn/a, crossing the
line at 16:27, and Meyja
McArthur, who pushed
for 16:57. Sage Mickelson
ran with a time of 17:34,
improving her time by 21
seconds.
Results for middle
school boys were Mi-
chael May running with
a time of 19:51, Ben Cor-
nia pounding out a 15:02,
Brenden Lundberg 14:21,
13:59 for Kyle Wolvington
and Brent Snyder placing
15th with a time of 12:44.
Snyder was named runner
of the week.
Some of the runners
wanted to share their
opinion of the meet. Ben
Cornia said, "I liked the
course a lot. It was fun.
I felt good about beating
my personal best." Bren-
den Lundberg thought, "It
was hard...but I'm glad we
went." Lundberg beat his
personal best by 24 sec-
onds.
The junior varsity
girls race quickly trailed
the middle school boys. All
the girls were very close.
Mackenzie Jue ran a time
of 28:33, pursued by Cait-
lyn Lundberg with a 28:50
and Afton George running
a flat 29:00. George im-
proved her time by near-
ly 30 seconds on a harder
course.
High school students
participating in the JV
boys race were Michael
Steiner running 23:11,
Derek Phelps with a 26:12
and Konner Davis pulling
off28:51.
"[The course] was
good; it was wild!," Davis
said. He enjoyed running
at Gillette. Meryk McAr-
thur of thevarsity girls
ran a 23:35 while AJ Dick-
son, running for varsity
boys, ran a time of 18:15.
Dickson was named run-
ner of the week last week
for his high placement in

Wayne Chaney Memorial in Gillette Friday. The Lovell harriers will travel to
Cody today (Thursday) and run at the Rocky Mountain Invitational Monday at
Foster Gulch.
the Billings Invitational.
Of the meet Coach Ca-
leb Sanders said, "We've
never done [this] course
before. It was creative;
[the] former runners
would've loved it." On the
creativity McArthur stat-
ed, "I enjoyed the race, es-
pecially running through
the trees and bushes. But
the hills wiped me out."
Still, the coaches were
very impressed with the
overall performance of the
team. Coach Bret George
stated, "[The] course was
really tough. /I'm] very
happy with people's times
on such a difficult course."
Gillette's high school
race is slightly longer than
Billings, so even a consis-
tent time is noteworthy.

Despite the obstacles of
the course, George said of
the meet, "The tempera-
ture was perfect; a light
breeze definitely helped."
Gillette's course weaved,
wound and overlapped,
creating what Sanders
said was "a more physi-
cal race." It was also con-
venient for the coaches to
check on runners and eas-
ier for the team members
to cheer their teammates
on at different points of
the course. The kids had
fun splashing water on
their team members while
they ran.
Wrapping up the
Wayne Chaney Memorial
Invite, Sanders noted, "To
see the improvement in
most of the runners, with
the added travel time, was
encouraging and motivat-
ing."
This week on Thursday
is the Cody Invitational at
4 p.m. in Cody, followed by
the Rocky Mountain Invi-
tational Monday at the
Foster Gulch Golf Course
at 4:30 p.m.
